Maribel López appointed director of Fundació Joan Miró

Maribel López has been named the new director of the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona, taking over from Marko Daniel. This decision was made by the board following an international search initiated in June, which drew 29 applicants. López, who was born in Barcelona in 1973, holds a degree in art history from the University of Barcelona and will begin her tenure in October. Her experience encompasses both curatorial roles and institutional leadership. An expert committee, featuring Manuel Segade, Joan Oller, Cécile Godefroy, and Rosa Maria Malet, provided guidance to the board. Previously, López served as deputy director of Estrany-de la Mota from 1999 to 2007, established Maribel López Gallery from 2007 to 2010, and led ARCOmadrid from 2019 to 2026.
