Daniel Giralt-Miracle will formalize the donation of the last part of his fund with the Minister of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya

An art critic, historian, cultural manager and collaborator of bonart from the beginning, Daniel Giralt-Miracle is one of those people who has always been able to structure his day-to-day life very well and, over the last decade, has been fragmenting. his important artistic collection, made up of books, works of art, various letters, he also guarded the funds of his grandfather and his father, in order to enrich the country's facilities. The Museu de Valls, the University of Vic, the Museu del Disseny and, relatively recently, the Arxiu Nacional de Catalunya, among others, have received their legacy. "It's an effort to understand the Noucentista and muscular Catalonia of Catalonia, the territory in the purest French or Anglo-Saxon style," the good teacher Giralt-Miracle acknowledged to me by telephone today. I have been waiting for a long time to formalize the last donation, which will finally arrive on February 1 in an intimate and discreet event, like his temperament, and with the complicity and in front of the Minister of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya, Natàlia Garriga.

The debate over archives, donations or purchases is an issue that is always dormant in events of this nature. Giralt-Miracle was clear, helping to strengthen the country that has given him so many things, such as the direction of the MACBA or the opportunity within the culture department to "know the territory", he pointed out happily. And to do so at no cost to the coffers of the Generalitat, which means all the citizens of a country who, thanks to examples such as his own, such as Vila Casas, with whom he has a strong friendship, they help to see lights on the map of Catalan culture.
