With the guidance of the specialized staff at the Museo Centro Gaiás, you will be able to delve into the life and work of one of the most prominent Galician sculptors in the exhibition Francisco Asorey, a Necessary Reappraisal. The exhibition explores, from a contemporary perspective, the complex creative world of the artist from Cambados—an essential figure in the history of Galician art and one of the key renovators of 20th-century Spanish sculpture.
Curated by Miguel Fernández-Cid and coordinated by Carmen Asorey, the artist’s granddaughter and a key figure in the recognition of his life and work, the exhibition brings together a selection of Asorey’s most important pieces. From his early works, where we can observe his first aesthetic choices, to his wooden sculptures that develop an iconography rooted in popular tradition and feature a unique treatment of polychromy, as well as his monumental works found throughout Galicia. The collection includes sculptures, plaster casts, drawings, audiovisuals, period documents, and work tools, along with ceramics that helped popularize some of his most iconic pieces, all aimed at providing the most comprehensive understanding of Asorey's artistic and historical significance.
