There were seven works commissioned for the building. Among them: a massive and rotund Henry Moore bronze at the entrance, a large Anthony Caro sculpture gesturing from a ledge in the atrium, an immense Joan Miró tapestry and Robert Motherwell's Reconciliation Elegy, the largest and possibly the last (since democracy has now been restored in Spain) of his 30-year series of Elegies for the Spanish Republic.

Laboring seven hours a day in his hilltop studio on the Spanish island of Majorca, he finishes one or two works a week and has also completed a tapestry for the National Gallery of Art in Washington. An especially exciting prospect is an upcoming retrospective exhibition in Madrid, to be opened by King Juan Carlos. It will mean that after 40 years of Franco...
