A Journey Through the Masterpieces of Contemporary Spanish Art: Reina Sofia Museum Private Tour

Step into the heart of Spanish contemporary art with the Reina Sofia Museum Highlights and Guernica Private Tour, led by expert licensed guide Irina Karasenko and Hernan A. Satt, founders of Madrid Museum Tours. This exclusive private tour offers a profound exploration of some of the most iconic works of the 20th century, including the Guernica by Pablo Picasso, which remains one of the defining masterpieces of contemporary painting.

The Guernica, often hailed as the most significant artwork of the 20th century, anchors this tour. Picasso’s refusal to explain its intricate symbolism has left the piece open to interpretation for decades. However, during this tour, you will gain unparalleled insight into the iconography and complex creative process behind this monumental work. Learn about the personal and historical circumstances that shaped Picasso’s vision and understand why Guernica continues to provoke thought and discussion worldwide.

Beyond the Guernica Mural, this tour also highlights works by Angeles Santos, Joan Miro, Salvador Dali, and Juan Gris, offering a comprehensive look at the evolution of Spanish Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism. These artists, each a titan of their respective movements, have left an indelible mark on the world of contemporary art.

The Reina Sofia Museum, often referred to as the MoMA of Madrid, is home to extraordinary creations by Spanish contemporary abstract artists. During our private tour, you will explore as well the works of figures like Antonio Saura, Miralles, Eduardo Chillida, Daniel Canogar, Luis Feito, and Palazuelo. These artists, despite the political and social challenges of their time, pushed the boundaries of contemporary abstract art and have become central figures in Spain’s artistic legacy.
