Sr. Alcalde a 1'International Council del Museum of Modern Art de Nova York Pavelló Mies van der Rohe, 13/4/86 Exp. 705/84 • IMPREMTA MUNICIPAL �Ajuntament de Barcelona Gabinet de Comunicació Ref.: Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Friends, Welcome to Barcelona.. I am very glad to meet you in this Pavillion, which is the result of the collaboration between the Museum of Modern Art and Barcelona. All of you are familiar with the important meaning of the Mies van der Rohe Pavillion in the history of architecture. But I do not know if you are also familiar with the significance that the 1929 Exhibition has in the history of Barcelona. The original pavillion was built for that exhibition. The Exhibition marked the most important thrust that Barcelona experienced in this century. Our subway system, the urbanization of this mountain come from those years. For us Barcelonnians, rebuilding the van der Rohe Pavillion is a way of recovering a piece of our own history. And I want to thank the Museum of Modern Art for the help we have got from it. I hope you find yourselves in Barcelona at home, even those of you who come here for the first time. I would be very happy of you felt between us the same comfort I had when I saw for the Exp. 1.207-85 - IMPREMTA MUNICIPAL �Ajuntament de Barcelona Gabinet de Comunicació Ref.: first time the Museum of Modern Art. I could see there pieces of the history of my country I had been deprived of. Your Museum had sheltered Guernica when this picture could not be in Spain, as it had also welcomed Luis Buñuel. In our Picasso Museum you will find some clues to understand better other . works of Picasso that are in your Museum. The Demoiselles d'Avignon, for instance, painted as a homage certain young ladies who worked at a certain house on the Avinyó street of this city, just a hundred metres of my office at the City Hall. I would like that Barcelona could convince you that it was not because of hazard that a genius as Picasso grew up here. was not an exception. He was son of an atmosphere of creativity, of invention, of imagination that this city had that it has still. In this same mountain you can see the building.that Josep Lluis Sert, a catalán who spent many .years and did most of his work in the United States, made for Joan Miró. And, though I am not an expert on art, far from it, I think Joan Miro's work is Exp. 1.207-85 - IMPREMTA MUNICIPAL �Ajuntament de Barcelona Gabinet de Comunicació understood better Ref.: after seeing that building and the mediterranean light it manages to gather. The City Council has been making it best for the last years to give back to Barcelona the atmosphere, the environement that made possible such geniuses as Picasso, Miró, Josep Lluis Sert. You are going to see some of our most recent urbanistic developments. Some of you know them very well. In our new squares, in our recovered urban spaces you will find works of very well known artists, Spanish, American, British. I am glad to acknowledge here their sensibility to connect with our ideas, with our plans of providing our urban landscape with a dignity which was endangered by many years of political irresponsability.. I do hope that this collaboration will go on and extend to other artists and architects. We want people from all the world to find in Barcelona a place where express themselves. And we want Barcelona to be present in the world, too. Let me ask for your help for this purpose. Have a very good stay with us. Enjoy our city. I am sure Exp. 1.207-85 - IMPREMTA MUNICIPAL �Ajuntament de Barcelona Gabinet de Comunicació Ref.: that when you leave, Barcelona will have some more friends. You can count with my friendship from this very moment. Thank you very much.
