The creative genius of Maurits Cornelis Escher comes to Catalonia for the first time thanks to Arthemisia, Evolucionarte and Museu Marítim de Barcelona, in collaboration with The M.C. Escher Foundation and with the support of the Barcelona City Council, the Barcelona Provincial Council and with the participation of RolDigital.

The exhibition is curated by Mark Veldhuysen, CEO of the M.C. Escher Company, and Federico Giudiceandrea, an Italian collector and expert on the artist.

The Escher exhibition, which hosts over 200 works, presents masterpieces from the artist’s surrealist period such as Hand with Reflecting Sphere, Bond of Union, Relativity and Belvedere.

This is the first major exhibition for the Sala Gran de las Drassanes in Barcelona and brings the city of Barcelona onto the international circuit of major exhibitions. Escher is hosted from the 29th of April in the spectacular Sala Grande of the Gothic complex of the Drassanes Reials de Barcelona, located at the end of La Rambla de Barcelona, next to the statue of Columbus and facing the sea.
