7 Gallery Shows To See In Barcelona This Summer

There are many noteworthy galleries in Barcelona which sustain the artistic culture which has thrived here since well before the days of Pablo Picasso. Here are seven of the best exhibitions to see in the Catalan capital this summer.

1. Anna Malagrida: Cristal House at Galería Senda

Art Gallery, Store

Founded in 1991, the Galería Senda focuses on promoting the work of emerging talent from Spain and abroad, including photography, sculpture, painting and video. Cristal House is the name of the latest exhibition by artist Anna Malagrida and captures the hopes, happiness and despair of a race betting store in central Paris. Particularly interesting is her series ‘Les mains’, which focuses on the hand gestures of those waiting to find out if this is their lucky day.

Founded in 1989, Mayoral is one of the leading Barcelona galleries representing the work of modern and post-war Barcelona artists, including Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso and Salvado Dalí.
