Iconic Pieces
Original works by the masters: oils, paintings and prints of singular authorship. Pieces with certification and documented provenance.
Nº 01
Pablo Picasso
Femme se coiffant devant la glace
One of the hundred prints of the Suite Vollard, the series Picasso etched between 1930 and 1937 and widely regarded as the pinnacle of his graphic work. Clean, classical line turns an everyday gesture into a small, intimate theatre. A museum piece on a domestic scale.
Nº 02
Óscar Domínguez
La Maison
An oil from Óscar Domínguez's Parisian period — the Canarian Surrealist who invented decalcomania. In the series «Vistas urbanas de una ciudad irreal», architecture breaks down into Cubist-rooted planes within a dreamlike atmosphere. Certified and registered with TEA, Tenerife.
Nº 03
Antoni Tàpies
Sin Título
Original painting on paper signed by Antoni Tàpies in 1976, at the height of his maturity. Gashes, rough impasto and pencil build a surface that reads like a wall: the matter-based language that made Tàpies a central figure of post-war European art.
Nº 04
Antoni Tàpies
Ulleres i Pluja
A unique work registered in the Tàpies complete works archive. Humble, absorbent wrapping paper takes paint and pencil as if it were a wall marked by time. A piece that sums up his fondness for poor materials and everyday signs.
Nº 05
Miquel Barceló
Cabeza de cabra
Gouache on paper from 1988, certified by Galerie Bruno Bischofberger in Zurich, one of the leading galleries of international contemporary art. Direct painting, with swift gesture and living matter, by one of the most acclaimed living Spanish artists.
Nº 06
Miquel Barceló
Lanzarote 10
Etching from the Lanzarote series, in an edition of 35. Barceló transfers his physical relationship with landscape and matter onto the copper plate: a print of great presence, with the energy of drawing and the depth of intaglio black.
Nº 07
Andy Warhol
A Whole Stocking Full of Good Wishes
Offset lithograph from the 1950s, when Andy Warhol was New York's most sought-after commercial illustrator. Authenticated by the Andy Warhol Foundation, it reveals the origins of his Pop eye: humour, delicate line and the commission turned into art.
Nº 08
Andy Warhol
Gee, Merrie Shoes (Coloured)
From the period when Warhol drew shoes for I. Miller, the campaign that made his name in post-war Manhattan. A hand-coloured lithograph with his characteristic blotted line: an early document of the artist before the soup can.
Nº 09
Andy Warhol
Gee Merrie Shoes (B/W)
Monochrome version from the Gee, Merrie Shoes series. Without colour, the piece reveals the virtuosity of Warhol's draughtsmanship and his transferred-line technique, a direct precursor of the mechanical repetition that would define Pop Art. An intimate format, ideal for reading spaces.
Nº 10
Andy Warhol
Tattooed Woman Holding A Rose
Offset lithograph from the mid-1950s, not catalogued in Feldman & Schellmann. A tattooed woman holds a rose: popular iconography and an illustrative tone that herald Warhol's interest in consumer imagery and mass culture.
Nº 11
Andy Warhol
Flowers↗ MoMA, Nueva York
Screenprint from the Flowers series (1970), one of the most recognisable images of Pop. Warhol started from a magazine photograph and turned it into a flat, repeatable, luminous motif. A square format of over 90 cm, designed to command a wall.
Nº 12
Vyacheslav Akushov
Party Line. Mantra USSR
Collage, pencil and tempera from 1978, a unique piece. Akushov belongs to Sots Art, the Soviet answer to Pop, which appropriated official slogans and posters in order to empty them of meaning. A work rarely found in Spanish collections, with strong historical resonance.
Nº 13
Vyacheslav Akushov
Two Lenin. Communism there! / Towards Communism!
A unique diptych on Gosznak paper, the stock used to print official documents in the USSR. Two variations on Leninist iconography and the language of the propaganda poster, reread with Sots Art irony. A conversation piece for corporate spaces.
Nº 14
Erik Bulatov
Study for 'Wanted to make it dark, But was too late'
Mixed-media study by Erik Bulatov, one of the defining names of Russian conceptual art. His work sets word against image, pictorial space against slogan, to ask what we really see. An original 2002 study for discerning collectors.
Nº 15
Monika Brandmeier
Untitled
A unique work by German artist Monika Brandmeier, known for sculptures and installations that think through space and line. Pencil, oil and tape on waxed paper: a quiet, precise and thoroughly contemporary piece, perfect for understated interiors.
Nº 16
Farideh Lashai
The Tyranny of Autumn, Not Every Tree Can Bear
A portfolio by Farideh Lashai, a key figure in Iranian contemporary art: 22 hand-painted screenprints and an original work on Plexiglas, brought together as an artist's book. Poetry, nature and memory in a piece certified by the artist's foundation.
Nº 17
Eduardo Arroyo
Payaso
Watercolour and collage by Eduardo Arroyo, a leading figure of narrative figuration in 1960s Paris and one of the most incisive Spanish painters of the 20th century. His characters — boxers, painters, clowns — speak of identity and the mask with humour and critique.
Nº 18
Jorge Castillo
Amarillo Dorado Surrealista
A 1985 oil by Jorge Castillo, the Galician painter shown at the São Paulo and Venice Biennales and held in collections such as the Guggenheim. A painting of intense colour and dreamlike space, certified by the artist, for walls that call for a statement.
Nº 19
André Derain
Cara de perfil
A 1920 pencil drawing bearing the studio stamp of André Derain, co-founder of Fauvism alongside Matisse. After the explosion of colour, Derain returned to classical drawing: here, a profile rendered with economy and assurance. Small format, great name.
Nº 20
André Derain
Pequeña cabeza a lápiz
The second Derain drawing in the collection, also from 1920. A head barely ten centimetres across that shows a master's hand during his return-to-order period. Ideal for building a cabinet of drawings or a reading corner with character.
Nº 21
Josep Grau-Garriga
Textil Bobinas de hilo Verde Ocre
Textile collage by Josep Grau-Garriga, the artist who lifted tapestry out of decoration and into contemporary art, with work in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Threads, bobbins and fabric build a tactile surface in greens and ochres that brings instant warmth to a space.
Nº 22
Joan Miró
Barcelona III (Serie Barcelona)↗ Setdart (auction)
A large-format print by Joan Miró in etching, aquatint and carborundum on Guarro paper, published by Sala Gaspar in Barcelona in an edition of 50. Carborundum lends relief and depth to the colour: Miró in his purest form, with his vocabulary of signs and his energy.
Nº 23
Joan Miró
Barcelona VII (Serie Barcelona)
A companion to Barcelona III, from the same series and in the same technique: etching, aquatint and carborundum, signed in pencil. Together or apart, these pieces bring the colour, scale and instant recognition of the great name of Catalan Surrealism.
Nº 24
Tracey Emin
Crazy
An original blue ink drawing by Tracey Emin, one of the Young British Artists who transformed British art in the 1990s. Quick, confessional, vulnerable line: intimacy as language. A unique, signed piece of enduring relevance.
Nº 66
Bob Dylan
Two Sisters (Large Format)
A large-format print by Bob Dylan, in a signed limited edition. The Nobel laureate in Literature has drawn and painted for decades; his visual work shares with his songs the eye of a traveller and storyteller.
Nº 68
Julian Opie
Ika (2)↗ Sotheby’s
A portrait from the Portraits series by Julian Opie, the British artist who reduces the human figure to line and flat colour. An edition of 40: a clean, contemporary image that works well in reception areas and brand spaces.
Nº 69
Tom Wesselmann
Monica Nude With Cezanne↗ Sotheby’s
A screenprint nearly one and a half metres tall by Tom Wesselmann, a major figure of American Pop Art. The contemporary nude converses with a quotation from Cézanne: art history and pop culture in a single image.
Nº 70
Luis Feito

Nº 72

Nº 73
Josep Maria Subirachs
A David
A lithograph by Subirachs devoted to the figure of David, rendered with the geometric synthesis that characterises his sculpture. Classicism and modernity in a 70 × 50 cm format.
Nº 74

Two Flowers for Van Gogh
A large-format oil by Canarian painter Pedro Paricio, one of the young Spanish painters with the strongest prospects. Its title pays homage to Van Gogh in a language of his own: colourful and contemporary.
Nº 75
Manolo Valdés
Mariana
Mariana of Austria, portrayed by Velázquez, is one of Manolo Valdés's signature motifs. In this mixed-media print the figure emerges from glazes and textures: art history rewritten in matter.
Nº 76
Pablo Atchugarry
Olas Góticas
A Carrara marble sculpture by Pablo Atchugarry, the Uruguayan sculptor based in Italy whose vertical forms seem to rise like light. Upward movement and a polished surface: a piece to be walked around.

Antoni Clavé
Sin título
Mixed media on paper by Antoni Clavé, the Barcelona-born painter, printmaker and sculptor who built his career in France. Between figuration and abstraction, collage and gesture, his work distils half a century of modernity.
Nº 80
Alceu Ribeiro
Bodegón constructivista I
An oil by Alceu Ribeiro, a pupil of Joaquín Torres-García and a figure of Constructive Universalism. Everyday objects arranged within a geometric structure: balance, rhythm and a highly versatile earthy palette.
Nº 81

Bodegón constructivista II
Ribeiro's second Constructivist painting in the collection, from 2007. Together with Bodegón constructivista I it forms an ideal pair for dining rooms, boardrooms and hospitality spaces.

Nº 89
Pablo Picasso
Hibou Marron Noir (Búho)
An original Picasso ceramic produced at the Madoura workshop in Vallauris, in an edition of 300. The owl was one of his favourite motifs in clay: a Picasso to touch with the eye.

Nº 25
Antoni Tàpies
Visca Catalunya
A highly symbolic etching in which Tàpies fuses his commitment to Catalan identity with his abstract vocabulary of signs, letters and traces. A work with a story, particularly suited to institutions and spaces with roots in Catalonia.
Nº 26
Antoni Tàpies
Gran X
The X is one of Tàpies's most recognisable signs: crossing-out, intersection, unknown. In this 1976 etching it takes centre stage. Graphic rigour and symbolic force for offices, boardrooms and reception areas.
Nº 27
Antoni Tàpies
Creu i S
The cross and the letter S, marks that in Tàpies oscillate between writing, symbol and pure form. A print from the 1970s that distils his idea of art as a wall on which signs and memory accumulate.
Nº 28
Antoni Tàpies
Dues Mans
Two hands appear as imprints on the picture plane: a minimal, almost archaeological human presence. A print that sums up Tàpies's poetics, in which the body leaves its trace on matter.
Nº 29
Antoni Tàpies
Esgrafiat sobre negre
Sgraffito on a black ground: Tàpies scrapes, scratches and uncovers the surface. A print of great intensity that carries onto paper one of the essential gestures of his matter painting.

Nº 31
Antoni Tàpies
Lletra O
The letter O as pure form: void, circle, origin. Tàpies turns a letter of the alphabet into a contemplative image. A restrained, elegant print that works very well in series and wall groupings.
Nº 32
Antoni Tàpies

Letters dissolving into a grey atmosphere: writing that becomes landscape. A print of restrained tone and great delicacy within the collection's group of Tàpies graphic works.
Nº 33
Jaume Plensa
