The president of the Cabildo de Lanzarote and of the Board of Directors of the Tourist Centers, María Dolores Corujo, and the CEO of the Entity, Benjamín Perdomo, have recently traveled to Madrid to "supervise the dismantling work that is being carried out on a César Manrique painting-mural recently acquired by the Tourist Centers from the company Dental Corporación, S.L."
"It is an abstract work that is dated in 1959, and that the artist made in acrylic paint with earthy masses in white, black, ocher and shadow colors, on a previously prepared wall," adds the Council. In addition, "the work has dimensions of 223 cm high by 260 cm wide, presents incised graphics and is in very good condition."
"We are going to continue working to recover the work and enrich the cultural and artistic heritage of Lanzarote"
"We are going to continue working to recover the work of our most international artist and contribute to enriching the cultural and artistic heritage of Lanzarote, his island," Corujo pointed out after the visit.
In the same line, Perdomo celebrated the work carried out "to recover a work by Manrique and be able to show it to the population of the island in the International Museum of Contemporary Art, MIAC - Castillo de San José." "Once dismantled, the work will be transferred properly protected to the island in the coming months," they tell us.
