Madrid La Sofia: Help me find this painting please!

November 15th, 2009, 07:03 AM

Dear all,

I wonder if you can help me. My future Mother-in-law went to Madrid's La SOfia wedding and saw a painting she loved, but only has this description of it:

Houses, which in her mind represented various countries.

Does anyone know the painting or artist? Your help will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

If you mean the Queen Sofia Museum in Madrid, you can browse the works of Guillermo Perez Villalta

Or type "Joaquin Torres Garcia" with Google images.

Yes, I was referring to the Reina Sofia. I have tried looking through the images on the website, but have been unable to work out the piece and the name of the artist.

She said there was a number of different houses in the painting, which she thought were representing different nationalities, e.g dutch, english etc. Not much to go on I know!

Any other ideas? She went there in September, not sure if it was a permanent or temporary exhibit but she couldn't find a print of it in the museum shop.

Thanks!

Could it possibly be a copy 'The Global Village'? It was a world wide project, painted by twenty artists. The original was sold at auction.
