Institut Valencià d'Art Modern

‘Sant Bru’ (1973) is identified as one of the works in the collection. In the work, Boix transforms Saint Bruno, a symbol of silence and contemplation, into an allegory of oppression and censorship during the final years of Franco’s dictatorship.

The museum preserves eight works by Manuel Boix in its collection. In 1995, IVAM dedicated an exhibition to Boix alongside Artur Heras and Rafael Armengol.

One hundred and fifty years later, Julio González still occupies an essential place in the history of contemporary sculpture.

The exhibition will be presented at IVAM Centre Julio González from 7 October 2026 to 10 January 2027.

IVAM mourns artist Artur Heras, whose work is featured in its collection display.
