New Foundation Collection. Work by Eugenio Granell. The exhibition is made up of a huge amount of work by Eugenio Granell, which will fill all of the museum’s exhibition space. The Granell family has contributed to the Granell Foundation’s pre-existing collection (whose last donation was formalised during 2007) a notable quantity of new work by the artist, works by other artists belonging to the family’s private collection (featuring names such as Picasso, Cesariny, Le Courbusier…) and traditional works of art, as well as personal objects belonging to the artist that formed part of his sancta sanctorum and, consequently, his creative space.

Fundación Eugenio Granell, Santiago de Composetela, 2006, pág 49)   Aquel día tuve la revelación de que hay dos formas de vida. La sencilla y la complicada; la franciscana, consistente en ser amigo de los animales sin jactancia, y la pérez y pérez, consistente en presumir de ser amigo de los animales.
