Paloma Alarcó, Chief Curator of Modern Painting at the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, is a person with a special sensibility who attempts to develop new perspectives and narratives based on pictorial works. She is currently researching some of the great American artists from an environmental point of view in order to connect them with one of today’s greatest concerns: humanity’s relationship with the planet.
