This exhibition is the most comprehensive show to date on the work of iconic turn-of-the-century sculptor Josep Llimona i Bruguera (Barcelona, 1864-1934).

The show invites visitors to walk through the artist´s entire production from the beginning of his training, with works from his earliest days (The Prodigal Son, 1879, MNAC), to works from his period of full maturity (Adolescent or Naïve, 1924, Museum of Catalan Modernism), alongside pieces that represent the beginnings of his fullest symbolist language (Modesty, 1891, Museum of Montserrat).

More than 60 pieces have been gathered together for the occasion, including previously unseen works by the public and a wide range of pieces by the sculptor that display his various specialties, from drawing to art objects, in which sculpture is strongly featured. Given the relevance of Josep Llimona´s production in Catalan art history, the exhibition seeks to show the great quantity of his work and be the retrospective that this major artist deserves.

On 8 March 2015, International Women´s Day, Palau Güell will pay tribute to female Modernista composers with a concert by the soprano Maria Teresa Garrigosa, tenor Jordi Cortada and pianist Manuel Ruiz in the stunning setting of Antoni Gaudí´s work, located at Nou de la Rambla, 3-5, Barcelona.

This one-day symposium, Art Nouveau in Europe: Visions and Revisions, will take place on 20 March 2015 at the Museum of Architecture and Design in Ljubljana.
Three international keynote speakers will talk on the past, present and future of Art Nouveau.

They will then exchange experience, knowledge and visions with Art Nouveau experts and professionals from the Network as well as with the audience during a round table.

The morning session will be followed by the presentation of results of the European project Art Nouveau & Ecology and the future challenges.

To conclude the final event, Penelope Denu, official representative of the European Institute of Cultural Routes, will award the RANN with the certification of the Cultural Route of the Council of Europe.

The Réseau Art Nouveau Network, as a network of cities aiming to preserve, study and promote Art Nouveau at a European scale, organizes the final symposium of its European project Art Nouveau & Ecology supported by the Culture programme 2007-2013 of the European Commission.

The programme of the event will soon be available.

Viennese design and architecture around 1900 is a global brand. How did this situation come about and what effects did these decisive moments in Modernism have? The exhibition presents main works by Josef Hoffmann and Adolf Loos as expression of central themes in a cultural debate. The show documents the different, often antithetical paths that the protagonists chose for shaping modern life, which today´s designers and architects also react to.
