We stumbled across Artevistas Gallery as we wondered through Barcelona--falling in love with a…read morepicture displayed in the front window. The piece was large and expensive (although very well-priced for the quality and size), and my husband and I weren't quite ready to make a decision. We were also nervous to deal with a business we had no knowledge of, involving significant funds and shipping overseas. We talked to one of the gallery associates, Chimera, who took my email address and said she would email me a photo of the piece as we considered its purchase. Chimera followed through exactly as she said she would. She made the process so seamless and took the fear out of buying a rather expensive item while traveling in a foreign country and getting it efficiently and safely transported. It arrived in less time than expected in perfect condition, and we are thrilled with the entire transaction.

From the owner: The Artevistas Art Gallery was born in 2007 with the ambition to help everyone discover the rich…read morediversity of contemporary art, and share with them our passion, our emotions. Our gallery specializes in the promotion of young talents, and we are betting that many of the artists we support will be the great talents of tomorrow. Contemporary, our collection includes over 800 original works, including paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures. The collection is being renewed constantly. More than 50 artists, emerging or more established, work with us, and constitute an eclectic set of styles, techniques and universes. The uniqueness of each artist, his or her own absolutely recognizable identity, is one of our key selection criteria. Artevistas Gallery took up residence at number 4 of Passatge del Credit, a unique and iconic place for its architectural interest, located between Las Ramblas and Sant Jaume Square, in the same building where painter Joan Miró was born.

Wandering through the maze that is Barcelona, I came across this art gallery. The gentleman (of…read morewhich I can't remember his name now since I've waited over a month to write this!) was incredibly helpful and patient. I came home with 3 pieces, but could have easily purchased more had I had room in my luggage. I purchased 3 of the small box frames displaying street art and absolutely love them! One was intended as a gift, but it fit too perfectly in my display. My next time to BCN, I will definitely be back for more.

While I initially was thrilled with this art gallery, I have recently learned that a lot of the art…read moreis replicated from small artists without their permission. I'm all for being a conscious consumer, so even though I enjoyed visiting the gallery- when I learned about the owner's practices I was disappointed and can no longer recommend this business. Most of the art consists of photographs of Barcelona that are set into deep frames, and then cut and styled so that the image has a 3-d element to it-- this is a common style of art I have seen around Barcelona (for cheaper than Maxó's 23€ too) so these pieces are probably original?

Also known as the Torre Blava, this distinctive local landmark and protected historic monument on…read morethe seafront of Vilanova was originally constructed in 1874, during the 3rd Carlist wars, as a look-out and defensive tower. Between 1912 and 1953 it was a bar - 'La Pergola' - with, appropriately enough, a large, conical wooden balcony and roof added on the upper stories. It is now a small art gallery of the contemporary artist, Josep Guinovart, whose works are inspired by the maritime environment. Entry is EUR1.35, or EUR3 with a guided commentary. The descriptions of the works are in Catalan only. From the roof, you get a splendid view of the seafront area.

It was hard to miss on the cobblestone streets of El Baluard. We had absolutely no knowledge about the museum and just noticed a queue in front of it. It might've been because it was International Museum Day, and admission was free. This was the first of two adjoining museums, this one focused on the wrought ironwork and art collections of late 19th century Catalan artist and writer Santiago Rusiñol. They converted two old houses into an exhibition space that reflects his eclectic tastes running from archeological ruins to El Greco paintings. Over two floors, it was an impressive display for just one person to bequeath the city, and the Maricel museum is just up the stairs next door. RELATED - Exploring Barcelona and Sitges?

I only noticed weeks later when I finally read the brochure. Wasn't that stupid of me? Don't answer that. Anyway, while Museo del Cau Ferrat represents one man's collection of art, this more expansive exhibit represents the collection of not an artist but a wealthy benefactor. It was American magnate and philanthropist Charles Deering. Yes, the guy who founded International Harvester. Apparently, making his fortune in tractors meant he could afford three floors of art that spans ten centuries of art from the 10th to the 20th century. The style varies from Romanesque and Gothic to Renaissance and Baroque to Modernism. The mirador was particularly striking with the neoclassical statuary set against the Mediterranean background.
