Fundación ARCO grants the “A” Awards for Collecting in its 26th edition

Fundación ARCO, with the backing of IFEMA MADRID, has granted the “A” Awards for Collecting which this year distinguish four categories: Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza, founder of TBA21 - International Collection and Philanthropy Award; Colección cmb – coleção moraes-barbosa - Private Latin American Collection; Jimena Blázquez Abascal - Private National Collection and Foundation; and Eduardo Salazar and Juliana Hernández - Young Collection.

In this twenty-sixth edition, Fundación ARCO has granted these awards to distinguish the artistic value of the works assembled by collectors and institutions, in addition to their work in support of promoting contemporary art.

The awards ceremony will take place on Tuesday, February 22 at the Círculo de Bellas Artes de Madrid and will be followed by the traditional Fundación ARCO dinner, with the collaboration of Cartier, aimed at raising funds for the acquisition of works at ARCOmadrid 2022 for its collection, currently housed in CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo de la Comunidad de Madrid.
