Baró is pleased to announce and invite you to the exhibition Flamboyant by Joana Vasconcelos at Liria Palace in Madrid, from February 14 to July 31, 2025.
On the occasion of Joana’s exhibition, Flamboyant, the artist has developed a unique project in which she intervenes in the salons and gardens of the palace. The Liria Palace is an 18th-century neoclassical building located in Madrid, Spain, and serves as the primary residence of the Dukes of Alba.
It houses one of the most important private art collections in Europe, featuring works by renowned artists such as Goya, Velázquez, Rubens, and Titian. In Flamboyant, Joana’s work merges with the artists in the collection, creating a striking dialogue between past and present.
This is the first time that the artist brings her works to a grand inhabited palace, unlike her previous interventions in historic spaces such as the Palace of Versailles. This creates a special exchange—not only between her works and the palace but also between the artist herself and the Duke of Alba.
The exhibition will be open to visitors at the Liria Palace starting 14 February and will also offer an exceptional opportunity to explore lesser-known areas, such as the gardens— usually closed to the public—where visitors will be able to see some of the artist’s most iconic works.
“I am honoured to present my work at the Liria Palace, a site of profound historical and cultural significance, housing one of the world’s most distinguished private art collections. This exhibition seeks to establish a dialogue between contemporary art and the palace’s enduring legacy, creating an interplay between past and present that reflects the dynamic evolution of culture.” - Joana Vasconcelos
