2021 Art Program

The Director General and the curatorial team of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao present the exhibitions in the Art Program 2021

Juan Ignacio Vidarte, Director General of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and the Museum’s curatorial team—Lucía Agirre, Manuel Cirauqui, Lekha Hileman Waitoller, and Petra Joos—unveil the keys of the eight exhibitions scheduled at the Museum in 2021. This year’s art program is characterized by the quality and variety of the shows, which are highly engaging for different types of audiences. Furthermore, this ambitious program highlights the leading role of women artists, which will be a constant presence in the Museum galleries throughout the year.

Visitors will discover the artworks of Bilbao’s fin de siècle painters; groundbreaking artworks from the Roaring Twenties in Europe; contemporary video art proposals; Alice Neel's paintings; and a show entirely devoted to the contribution of women artists to abstraction from 1860 through 1980. The exhibitions comprising the Art Program 2021 are detailed below in chronological order.
