The "Green House" of La Moraleja (Fisac's work,
was named after its proprietor, José Luis Várez Fisa , as a result of the
shading it had both inside and outside), witnesses how, little by little, they
are forsaking their Stays the famous visitors that it has facilitated for a
long time: masterpieces loved, with emulate and enthusiasm, by one of the
considerable authorities Spaniards, as well as Europeans. Várez Fisa
(Barcelona, 1928) kicked the bucket in Madrid in 2014 .Months prior he made the
Prado a gift of twelve pieces, which were added to two already gave and four in
store. Today they look in a stay with their name in the historical center. That
heritage, accumulated by this agent and supporter for 50 years, is scattering.
As frequently happens, even in the best families, at times of the purported
"triple D" (obligations, separations and passings).
The Várez Fisa gathering had four in number focuses :
Spanish and viceregal silver from the XV to the XVII hundreds of years,
Spanish-Arab stoneware from a similar period, painting and prehistoric studies.
Of the last mentioned, 187 Egyptian, Iberian, Greek and Roman works (an
outstanding arrangement of Greek vessels emerges) were sold in 1999 for 12
million euros to the Spanish State and today they are in the National
Archeological Museum. The family does not need the initial two, the most
scholastic, to scatter and need them to remain in Spain: Várez Fisa experienced
serious difficulties them together.

Collection) - CHRISTIE'S
With respect to painting, five essential works have
officially gone to the hands of one more of the best Spanish authorities: Juan
Abelló . This is the situation of three Goyas, an Antonio Joli and, most
particularly, a pined for cited still existence of Sánchez Cotán . There are
just six on the planet. One of them (the main marked and dated) was procured by
the Prado with the heritage Villaescusa. The beneficiaries of Várez Fisa - they
are six siblings - take out on Wednesday at sell off in the room Christie's of
London an arrangement of 125 pieces : those that have gotten trade permit and
have universal intrigue. There are many to which the Board of Qualification,
Valuation and Export of Historic Heritage Property denied consent to leave
outside Spain. In different cases the family did not attempt due to its
relevance.In the gathering there are treasures like "The Count-Duke of
Olivares", of Velázquez (procured in London in 1979); Works by Goya, Ribera
...
They offer artworks, models, embroidered works of art,
curves, capitals, altarpieces, carvings, Roman mosaics, Etruscan patios ...
Under the witticism of the inventory, "A recognized
private accumulation" (the family needed to keep some namelessness), a
varied yet brilliant set is at a bargain: Roman mosaics, a couple of Etruscan
earthenware from the third century BC, Byzantine crosses, embroidered works of
art, curves, a tenth century Andalusian capital, Spanish altarpieces and
carvings, Chinese furniture, molds by Moore, Gargallo and Botero or artworks by
extraordinary specialists. The gathering has been shown preceding deal in
Mexico City and New York.
For its exceptionality, a canvas by Luis Paret and Alcázar
go in November in Madrid to indicate it to potential clients and the Prado
Museum, which may be intrigued. It is "The Port of Bermeo" , an oil

It is trusted that in 1808 he was in the Royal Palace of Madrid. Carlos III
wound up banishing the craftsman from Madrid, who was mentor to the Infante
wear Luis . He was blamed for looking for this young lady. The work was taken
care of by Spanish and Irish gatherers, it was sold in London in 1983, in the
wake of being kept in the National Gallery of London and, in an unknown deal by
Edmund Peel and Asociados in October 1990, gained by Várez Fisa. It was
purchased, in the same way as other others of the accumulation, in
administration of impermanent importation . As set up in the Historical
Heritage Act of 1985, this sort of imports are restored like clockwork through
a sort of "international ID". Considered Paret's showstopper, he
preferred Carlos III so much that he requested a hard stone variant, today in the
Prado's accumulation.
Imperative still lifes
«San José and the Child», by Murillo (Várez Fisa Collection)
- CHRISTIE'S
Among the artistic creations incorporated into the closeout
are likewise "San José y el Niño", by Murillo (3.4-5.6 million euros)
, a historical center quality painting that has been in English accumulations
since 1809. Várez Fisa obtained it in Sotheby's-New York in 1998. There are
additionally vital canvases, for example, "La charidad de Santo Tomás de
Villanueva" by Zurbarán (340,000-560,000 euros); A couple of vases from

that as it may, old Spanish craftsmanship does not reach in the market the high
costs of current workmanship (Picasso, Gris, Dalí, Miró). There is no solid
accumulation for this sort of works.
Juan Várez , one of the six offspring of José Luis Várez
Fisa and Milagros Venegas, is CEO of Christie's in Spain , which could have
been an irreconcilable circumstance. Be that as it may, he has not interceded
in the valuation group of the pieces or in the procedure of the closeout. He's
only one more client. Benefactor of the ABC Museum , as of late gave to the
Museo Reina Sofía Foundation the work "Structure Daca" by Dan Graham.

extremely huge occasion for Spain. On the front of the offer of old bosses, a
depiction by Goya : "Lady with two kids by a wellspring" , star of
the bartering. Its evaluated cost is 4.5-6.7 million euros. It is dependably an
occasion that goes to showcase a Goya, however for this situation includes that
there is behind it an intense and long recognizable debate. As per the index,
its proprietor is "Noble Borja Thyssen-Bornemisza".Borja Thyssen ,
for the Spaniards. It is a preliminary draw for the canvas "The poor at
the source" (Museo del Prado), having a place with the arrangement of the
Four Seasons of their embroidered artwork for woven artworks , intended to
adorn one of the rooms of the Palacio del Pardo .
The outline, which has been shown in essential exhibition
halls around the globe, was sold to the Dukes of Osuna in 1798, later go under
the control of the collector Lafora. Thyssen noblemen obtained it in New York
in 1984 on the event of the sanctification of Borja , the child of Carmen
Cervera, who was embraced by the aristocrat. In his diaries, he clarifies that
his better half and he chose to get it in light of their association with
sanctification (water and youngsters): "I recall that we stated: some time
or another the photo will be for him. We took it to our suite at the Hotel
Pierre . There we hung it and remained for quite a long time. " The canvas
was purchased under transitory importation, so it has possessed the capacity to
go out available to be purchased abroad.
It happened to the gathering Carmen Thyssen and was saved,
beside different works possessed by the aristocrat, in Thyssen Museum .Borja
asserted that both this work and Corrado Giaquinto's "The Baptism of
Christ" were his. The issue came to court. Yet, mother and child achieved
an assention in 2014 . Borja kept the photos. Maybe his issues with the
treasury (he is examined for a charged wrongdoing against general society
treasury) have driven him to require liquidity and offer the Goya. He as of now
requested the fare allow for Guiaquinto. Carmen Thyssen unloaded in 2012,
likewise in Christie's and for absence of money, a showstopper of its
accumulation: "The conduit", of Constable, by 27.9 million euros .
