An art exhibition from New York’s Hispanic Society is producing visions of visitors at the Albuquerque Museum. Since the show opened in early November, attendance at “Visions of the Hispanic World: Treasures From the Hispanic Society Museum & Library” has skyrocketed by 59 percent compared to the same period in 2017. Featuring works by such high-profile artists as Goya, Velásquez and El Greco, “Visions” encompasses Celtic, Islamic and Judaic cultures, as well as the Impressionist paintings of Joquin Sorolla y Bastida. The exhibition is open through March 31. [More]
