THE COLLECTION

Since acquiring Santiago Sierra’s series Presos políticos en la España contemporánea (2018), collector Tatxo Benet has gathered a large number of artworks that, at one point or another, have been censored, banned, or attacked. Taken as a whole, this collection reveals the mechanisms of censorship in our societies, while also highlighting those subjects that repeatedly become the focus of scandal and, in some cases, persecution.

The collection spans a time period from the prints of Francisco de Goya to the graffiti works of Banksy; from Gustav Klimt to Marta Minujín, Ai Weiwei, or Zanele Muholi.

Unique in the world, global in scope and multidisciplinary in nature, this collection includes an archive that compiles the reactions generated by the works, as well as documenting various cases of censorship that open up new avenues for reflection. It is therefore a constantly evolving collection with two clear aims: to democratize access to critical thought and to give visibility to creative freedom.
