What the activity includes
The recital «Les Arts visita Julio González» is a double activity that begins with a guided tour of the exhibition «La dona en l’obra de Julio González» in Gallery 2 of the IVAM. The exhibition, organised to mark the 150th anniversary of the artist’s birth, brings together previously unseen works from the museum that explore the central role of women in his work: from family portraits and maternities to political allegories, tracing his evolution from figuration to abstraction and the sculpture of the void. The tour also highlights the influence of his goldsmith’s workshop in the 1920s and 1930s and the legacy preserved by his daughter Roberta González.
After the tour, singers from the Centre de Perfeccionament de Les Arts will perform a recital of Spanish and Latin American chamber song, created specifically for this exhibition. While the programme is not detailed in the sources, it typically includes works by composers such as Falla, Granados, Montsalvatge, or Ginastera, adapted to the context of the tribute.
Schedule and structure
The activity takes place in two parts on 7 November 2026:
- 17:00: Guided tour of the exhibition (approximate duration: 1 hour).
- 18:00: Recital in the same room (estimated duration: 45-60 minutes).
It is not specified whether there is a break between the two parts or whether booking is required for the tour or concert.
