Cuenca Contemporary Art Centre

Located in the old quarter of Cuenca, a World Heritage City, in an impressive 17th-century building (the former Convent of the Discalced Carmelites), the Antonio Pérez Foundation's Cuenca Museum of Contemporary Art brings together a large sample of styles and currents, such as informalism, abstraction or pop art, with works by prestigious national and international artists.

With more than 50 rooms, the museum houses an extensive collection of pieces that explores the development of contemporary art from the mid-20th century to the present day. Renowned creators such as Antonio Saura, Andy Warhol, Manolo Miralles, Rafael Canogar, Carmen Calvo, Equipo Crónica, Luis Gordillo and Fernando Zóbel, among many others, are represented in the centre's collection, all united by a common link: they were friends with or collaborated with Antonio Pérez, collector, editor and artist, who started the path of the museum as it is known today. In addition, it also exhibits new proposals made by emerging artists through temporary exhibitions. One of the most fascinating aspects is Antonio Pérez's own “found objects”, based on useless or rejected items, which complement the paintings and sculptures alongside which they are displayed. In addition to the Cuenca Contemporary Art Centre, the Antonio Pérez Foundation has other cultural venues in the towns of San Clemente (Museum of Graphic Art), Huete (Museum of Photography) and Sigüenza (La Plazuela Art Centre).
