These recent incorporations into the MACBA Collection are largely focused on the artistic production of the turn of the century, with special attention paid to artists who first emerged in the eighties and nineties, such as Ramon Guillen-Balmes, Martí Anson, Antoni Hervàs, David Bestué and Pep Duran.

Looking to the present, the Collection now boasts a significant representation of works by international artists such as Rasmus Nilausen, Cinthia Marcelle, Bouchra Khalili, Helen Dowling, Ângela Ferreira, Evangelia Kranioti and Claudia Martínez Garay; as well as national artists, including Laia Estruch, Eva Fàbregas, Albert Serra and Isabel Banal. This multiplicity of approaches allows us to consolidate the Museum’s main lines of research, such as the political body and otherness, postcolonial liberating logics, new ecologies, performance and action art.
