Overview

  • President Carlos Mazón met with Hispanic Society of America leadership in New York to advance negotiations on the loan of Sorolla paintings to Valencia.
  • The agreement will feature Sorolla's international works but explicitly excludes the monumental 'Visión de España' series.
  • Discussions are ongoing regarding the exhibition's duration, costs, and its likely venue, the Palacio de las Comunicaciones in Valencia.
  • This collaboration builds on longstanding ties between Valencia and the Hispanic Society, including past exhibitions and restoration projects like the 2013-2015 effort on 'Visión de España' sketches.
  • The Hispanic Society holds the largest international collection of Sorolla's works, cementing his legacy as a global and regional cultural figure.
