The Fundació Suñol opened the Josep Suñol Collection to the public in May 2007, with an exhibition entitled 1915-1995, which included some of the most outstanding pieces from the permanent collection.

This first exhibition set out to present work that was selected not according to any chronological criterion but more as a random journey through 20th century avant-garde art.

The second part of the collection can be seen in the exhibition, 1970-2001, which will show examples of conceptual art, minimal art and arte povera. It seems appropriate to exhibit these works now as they are the tendencies which closed a cycle characterised by a current of extreme radicalism in its thinking, in dramatic contrast to attitudes since then.

This show is very representative of the late 20th century. The special friendship and understanding between the collector and most of the notable artists of the time arising from his visiting their studios and following their progress, has led to the fact that the pieces in this show are a good example of what happened in that particular period in the visual arts.
