43
years ago

10 September 1981,

Picasso's Guernica was transferred from the MoMa Museum in New York to Madrid. The transfer was unprecedented and secret, the result of negotiations by the government of the Spanish UCD. Guernica MoMan was present since 1939 and was placed in Madrid in the Casón del Buen Retiro. He is currently at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, but the demand for his transfer to Gernika is widespread in the Basque Country. Picasso literally said that the return to the Spanish state of the painting would be fine when the republic was reestablished.
