Bernat Puigdollers, curator of the exhibition, highlights “Esther Boix’s ability to anticipate, through her work and in an intuitive way, issues that today form part of our collective thinking, such as feminist concerns, sexual freedoms, and aspects like ecological awareness — subjects to which Esther Boix gave a voice at a time when no one else did. This makes her an almost prophetic painter.

This exhibition helps to bring Esther Boix’s work to audiences beyond Catalonia and makes a significant contribution to the process of recovering the artist’s career, undoubtedly one of the most remarkable of her generation. The recent acquisition of her works by the Museo Reina Sofía and the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya is clear proof of this.”
