Curatorial context
The exhibition '2000 revoluciones: Transición en la Colección ABC' offers a comprehensive journey through the evolving landscape of graphic art and illustration as captured by the ABC Collection. It is divided into several thematic blocks, beginning with renowned caricaturists of Spain's Transition period, such as Chumy Chúmez, Máximo, and Mingote, who critically depicted the era's spirit. The second section highlights significant pieces with strong testimonial and artistic value, including works by José Caballero, Manuel Rivera, and Eduardo Arroyo.
The exhibition then documents the impact of the 'Movida Madrileña' on ABC's pages, showcasing the vibrant work of artists like Carlos Berlanga and Javier de Juan, who injected new energy and broke with inherited visual languages. A further block focuses on award-winning pieces from the 'Blanco y Negro' contest, which has expanded beyond painting to include photography and installation art, featuring diverse aesthetics from Florencio Galindo to Ruth Morán. Finally, the exhibition looks at the more recent activity of the ABC Collection, which embraces contemporary languages and new forms of illustration with artists such as Almudena Lobera and Javier Pagola.
