This exhibition consists of a selection of works from the collections of La Fundación La Caixa and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona (MACBA). The exhibition contrasts two artistic movements, realism and abstraction, especially in the areas of painting, sculpture and photography,.

The second period covers the eighties and nineties, with photographs by Thomas Ruff, Jean Marc Bustamante or Thomas Struth. The focus of abstraction is centered on the works of Anselm Kiefer, Miquel Barceló and José María Sicilia, among others.
