Selection from Fundación Botín Collection

Fundación Botín Art Collection reflects the evolution of its Art Programme and the institution’s trajectory over more than forty years. Specialising in contemporary art, the collection includes works in a wide range of media: painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, video, installation, sound, and performance.

Since 1993, the growing collection has brought together works by the directors of the Art Workshops, internationally established artists such as Miroslaw Balka, Tacita Dean, Carlos Garaicoa, Mona Hatoum, Joan Jonas, Jannis Kounellis, Julie Mehretu, Antoni Muntadas, Juan Uslé, Cristina Iglesias, Martin Creed, Thomas Demand, Damián Ortega, Roni Horn, Tino Sehgal, Shilpa Gupta, Shimabuku and Cooking Sections; as well as works by artists who have received Fundación Botín Art Grants such as Carlos Bunga, Cabello/Carceller, Alice Dos Reis, Eva Fàbregas, Sandra Gamarra, Irene Kopelman and Asier Mendizabal. All these works coexist to form a diverse mosaic of concepts and trajectories that, across generations and differing perspectives, collectively bear witness to the art of our time.
