The Contemporary Art Collection of the Fundación “la Caixa” began in the early 1980s and now comprises more than 750 artwork by different generations of international artists. The exhibition Zonas de riesgo (Risk Areas) runs until the 3rd May, 2009. The CaixaForum Madrid was designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and was inaugurated in spring 2008 (see also our video CaixaForum Madrid by Herzog & de Meuron Architects / Madrid, Spain).
