Antonio Pérez Foundation Museum of Cuenca!!

Posted in Europe, Spain

I have several posts on sentimental Cuenca in my blog. This one is an older post that I like to break down into each individual museum with a post of its own rather than one all post as before. I feel that on one of my favorite cities in Spain is worth it to tell you about their museums we like in a bit more details on each. So, therefore, here are my version of the Antonio Pérez Foundation Museum of Cuenca, in Castilla La Mancha autonomous community! Hope you enjoy them as I.

Museo Fundación Antonio Pérez , began its history in 1998 located in the former Convent of the Barefooted Carmels, it houses the particular collection of contemporary works of art by the artist Antonio Pérez. The important art collection of Antonio Pérez composed of paintings by painters as important as Saura, Millares, Feito or Gordillo. A museum whose initial collection of painting, sculpture, photography, graphic work and artist’s books has increased dramatically during the  years the museum has been in operation.

Today there are already more than three thousand works of art, the result of this initial collection and other acquisitions and donations that the museum has been obtaining over the years. The Antonio Pérez Foundation has had its offsprings such as in San Clemente with the Museum of Graphic Art, and in Huete , the Photography museum. Both easily reach from Cuenca.  Antonio Pérez first travel to Cuenca in 1957, and there he met with Manolo Millares and Antonio Saura, with whom he began this collection. Later in Paris, he had the opportunity to experience friendship and work with various painters. Forty years later the collection returns to its place of origin.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
