Antecedentes

En 1992, Cristóbal Gabarrón realizó con motivo del

500 aniversario de la llegada de Colón a América, el

mural conmemorativo de la Exposición Universal de

Sevilla. En aquel momento, S.M. El Rey de España

expresó: ”Esta obra del pintor Cristóbal Gabarrón

es una suma de aportes históricos, filosóficos y

plásticos, un símbolo de fraternidad entre los

pueblos. Asumir las raíces de la humanidad,

rescatar las huellas de la historia y alumbrar un

futuro en paz y concordia, son a mi juicio las primeras

lecturas de esta reflexión pictórica de gran aliento.”

Para la realización de este mural, el artista creó más

de doscientos bocetos originales, tanto en papel,

como tabla y lienzo, conformando una exposición

que comisarida por Achille Bonito Oliva, viajó a varias

ciudades mostrando la simbología en la que se basó el

artista para la realización de este emblemático mural.

Veinte años después de la creación de este

emblemático Mural para la Exposición

Universal de Sevilla, Cristóbal Gabarrón está traba-

jando en la realización de una escultura monumental e

icónica para la ciudad de Miami, que se convierta

en referencia icónica para Florida y la ciudad de Mia-

mi, donde se instalará, quedando como legado de

Background

In 1992, Cristóbal Gabarrón held to mark the 500th

anniversary of the arrival of Columbus to America,

the mural commemorating the Universal Exposition

of Seville. At that time, S. M., The King of Spain said:

“This work of the painter Cristóbal Gabarrón is a sum

of historical, philosophical and artistic contributions,

a symbol of brotherhood among people. Assumes

the roots of humanity, rescues the traces of history

and projecting a future of peace and harmony, are to

my opinion, the first readings of this pictorial reflec-

tion of great encouragement”.

For the realization of this mural, the artist created

over two hundred original sketches, on paper, panel

and canvas, forming an exhibition commissioned by

Achille Bonito Oliva, who traveled to several cities

demonstrating the symbols on the basis of which the

artist took to the realize this landmark mural.

Twenty years after the creation of this emblematic

mural for the Universal Exhibition of Seville, Cristó-

bal Gabarrón is working on the completion of a mo-

numental and iconic sculpture for the city of Miami,

to become an iconic reference to Florida and the

city of Miami, where installed, leaving a legacy of

this event and symbol of brotherhood between Spain

esta efeméride y símbolo del hermanamiento entre

España y la Florida, y que sirva de ayuda para

enfatizar la aportación de España al nacimiento de los

Estados Unidos y el relevante papel que los explora-

dores españoles jugaron en la formación de este país.

Herencia artística para la ciudad y el Estado de

Florida: Cristóbal Gabarrón es un artista reconoci-

do a nivel internacional y es un referente en EEUU

como símbolo de la unión entre la cultura hispana y

estadounidense gracias a sus creaciones y al

trabajo que se realiza desde la fundación que lleva su

nombre y que tiene sede en Nueva York. Para

la ciudad de Miami, una obra de este artista

supondrá también un legado cultural. Gabarrón

cuenta con una amplia experiencia en la realiza-

ción de obras monumentales en proyectos históri-

co-artísticos, culturales y deportivos, como la Ex-

posición Universal de Sevilla, la conmemoración

del Milenio de las Naciones Unidas o los Juegos

Olímpicos. En su trayectoria profesional como ar-

tista, cabe destacar los homenajes de escultura

pública, que ha llevado por Estados Unidos y

Europa, dedicados a Colón o al Quijote y relaciona-

dos, sin duda, con la conmemoración de la llegada

de los primeros exploradores europeos a La Florida.

and Florida, and that it will help to emphasize the

contribution of Spain to the birth of the United States

and the relevant role played by Spanish explorers in

the formation of this country.

Artistic legacy for the city and the State of Florida:

Cristóbal Gabarrón is an internationally recognized

artist and is regarded in the U.S. as a symbol of

the union between Hispanic and American culture

through his creations and work achieved since the

founding that bears his name and which is based in

New York. For the city of Miami, the workmanship

of this artist will also be a cultural legacy. Gabarrón

has extensive experience in conducting projects of

monumental works in historical-artistic, cultural and

sporting events, such as the Universal Exposition in

Seville, the commemoration of the United Nations

Millennium or the Olympics. In his professional ca-

reer as an artist, note the homage of public sculpture,

which has led the United States and Europe, dedi-

cated to Columbus or related Quixote and certainly

with the commemoration of the arrival of the first Eu-

ropean explorers to Florida.

Concepto Expositivo

Esta exposición recoge una selección de los

bocetos y maquetas originales, que descifran el

complejo proceso creativo del artista para la crea-

ción de esta icónica escultura conmemorativa, don-

de tendremos la particular visión contemporánea de

un polifacético artista español cuya obra remarca y

celebra la contribución histórica, social y cultural es-

pañola en Estados Unidos. Hoy, 5 siglos después, la

unión de los dos continentes -España como parte de

Europa, y EE.UU. como referente de América- es una

prioridad en el mundo globalizado, incenti-

vando el apoyo a la cultura y la creatividad en

Europa, en los Estados Unidos y en el resto del

mundo, desde la revitalización de una coope-

ración de base transatlántica para hacer frente

a los retos y desafíos de un mundo y una econo-

mía complejos y crecientemente globalizados.

Exhibition Concept

This exhibition includes a selection of original sket-

ches and models, deciphering the complex creative

process of the artist to create this iconic commemo-

rative sculpture, where we have a particular view of

a multifaceted contemporary Spanish artist whose

work celebrates the contribution of and highlights the

historical, social and Spanish culture in the United

States. Today, five centuries later, the union of the

two continents, Spain as part of Europe, and the U.S.

to be a reference to America-is a priority in the global

world, encouraging support for culture and creativity

in Europe, in the United States and the rest of the

world, from the revitalization of basic transatlantic

cooperation to meet the challenges of a world and a

complex and increasingly globalized economy.

to con la impresión de la primera impresión al avis-

tar tierra de los campos de flores de La Florida, los

pájaros de colores, los peces, las velas de sus em-

Florida, los Everglades o Cabo Cañaveral, llamada

en el último tercio del s. XX la Costa del Espacio, al

ser desde donde despegaban las naves espaciales.
