In 1973, the advertiser Lluís Bassat was walking down Consell de Cent street when, at the height of the Sala Adrià, which was run by Francesc Mestre, an exhibition by Serra de Rivera caught his attention. Inside awaited Bañista, an enigmatic painting (the naked figure of a woman in a flooded room who sinks an arm into the water that reaches halfway up her leg) that not only stole his heart but changed his life. That afternoon he not only left with the canvas under his arm but also with 35% ownership of the gallery (he later convinced seven friends to acquire another 35%), and until 1980, when it closed its doors, they organized more than eighty exhibitions. “There I began to get to know the artists; and with my wife, Carmen, we bought one or two works from each of them. And so, almost unintentionally, we built a collection that today has more than 3,000 works.”

It is Saturday, August 29, and there is not a soul at Ifema. The stands of the Madring are already erected, workers in yellow vests making the final touches, some curious people exercising and stopping to take photographs. Meanwhile, Javier is slicing ham at Taberna Cazorla, located opposite one of the sides of the circuit, next to the M-40. “Many people have not come to work these days because of the noise. On the Grand Prix weekend, there will be countless spectators (it is estimated that 120,000 tickets have been sold) but all the profits go to the caterings.
