The Museo Lázaro Galdiano in Madrid, together with the Fundació Casamor, will present 'Antón Casamor: Luz y Escultura' in the museum’s gardens from 8 July to 23 August 2026. The show is described by the museum as a new reading of the work of Antón Casamor, one of the key figures of 20th-century Catalan sculpture, and it will be installed in the Jardines del Museo Lázaro Galdiano, with free admission.
The museum’s summer programme places the project within a broader season of temporary exhibitions and public activities. In the same announcement, the institution notes that it is also hosting 'Isabel Matoses: La imagen recuperada' and Talia Chetrit’s 'Bunny' as part of PHotoESPAÑA, while offering guided collection visits, family programmes and a children’s summer camp. Against that backdrop, the Casamor presentation is framed as an outdoor encounter with sculpture, rather than a conventional gallery display.
According to the museum, 'Antón Casamor: Luz y Escultura' sets sculpture in direct relation to nature and changing light, creating a dynamic dialogue between texture, shadows and the surrounding environment. Casamor is identified in the source as Barcelona-born, with dates 1907–1979, and as a fundamental figure in Catalan sculpture. The exhibition seeks to revisit his work through the placement of sculptures among the trees and plants of Parque Florido, the landscaped setting of the museum.
The museum’s text emphasizes Casamor’s sculptural language for its sobriety, precision and formal purity, especially in the artist’s treatment of the female figure. It also places his work in relation to earlier sculptors and classical references, naming Casanovas, Eusebi Clarà and Aristide Maillol in its description of the project’s conceptual frame. In this reading, the outdoor installation returns to an idea of the classical canon associated with order, measure, light, volume and corporeality.
The exhibition is presented as a collaboration with the Fundació Casamor, which the museum credits in the title line of its summer programme. The source does not indicate a separate curatorial statement or individual curator for the project, but it does make clear that the presentation is intended as an experiential encounter with sculpture in the open air, where the works are affected by daylight and by the visitor’s movement through the garden.
The summer programme also situates the sculpture project in relation to the museum’s wider educational and interpretive offer. The announcement includes guided tours of the collection, accessible visits for people with visual or intellectual disabilities, a summer camp for children focused on nature and botany, and online resources about music, animals and Paula Florido. Within that institutional context, 'Antón Casamor: Luz y Escultura' will run in the museum’s gardens from 8 July until 23 August 2026.
