"On the fourth floor of the Sabatini building at the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the rooms and artworks have been rearranged once again to tell the most recent chapter in the history of contemporary art in Spain: from the transition to democracy to the present day. Everything has been reshuffled in order, as Manuel Segade, the museum's director, explained during a tour of the 21 rooms on February 16, to try to answer the question: How do we reach the past from the present?"
"The works belong to the Lafuente Archive, so my first message was to Jose Maria, the owner of this remarkable contemporary art collection, which includes more than 2,650 items by the illustrator – photographs, magazines, posters, prints, catalogues, audiovisual material, and original artwork."
"It's the one Lou Reed stole from Nazario for the cover of one of his albums. He appropriated it."
The Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid reorganized its fourth floor to present contemporary Spanish art history from the transition to democracy through today. Director Manuel Segade curated 21 rooms to answer how we understand the past from the present perspective. The exhibition features works from the Lafuente Archive, including over 2,650 items by illustrator Nazario Luque, a pioneer of Spain's 1970s underground comics scene. Among the displayed drawings is artwork that Lou Reed appropriated for an album cover without permission. The archive contains photographs, magazines, posters, prints, catalogues, audiovisual material, and original artwork documenting Nazario's significant contributions to Spanish contemporary art and underground culture.
