The Foundation at ARCO2025

The Martín Chirino Art and Thought Foundation will be present at ARCOmadrid 2025, one of the most important contemporary art fairs in the world. On this occasion, our participation takes on an even more special meaning, since this year we celebrate the Centennial of Martín Chirino, born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 1925. The initiative has the support of the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council, and other institutions committed to disseminating the legacy of the Canarian sculptor.

Martín Chirino, key figure in Spanish sculpture and member of the El Paso group. Its spirals, inspired by the Canarian aboriginal culture and the Atlantic wind, continue to be a reference in contemporary sculpture. With this presence at ARCO, we want to bring his work closer to new generations and continue the dialogue between his artistic thinking and current art.   A space to discover, reflect and connect with your work. From our stand 9B28, we invite all visitors to immerse themselves in Chirino's universe through a special selection of works and documents that will highlight his influence on contemporary art. In this centenary year, we want ARCO to be a meeting point for all those who wish to learn more about Martín Chirino's career and his impact on art and culture. We are waiting for you at ARCOmadrid, from March 5 to 9 at IFEMA Madrid. Join this celebration of art and join us on this journey through the work and thoughts of a creator who transformed iron into a symbol.

Martín Chirino Foundation with the support of the Martín Chirino Centennial and the City Council of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
