about Equipo Crónica
Valencia, 1964
Equipo Crónica (Valencia, 1964–1981) was a Spanish artistic collective initially formed by Rafael Solbes (Valencia, 1940-1981), Manolo Valdés (Valencia, 1942), and Juan Antonio Toledo (1940-1995), although the latter soon left the group. The collective emerged from the theoretical proposals of Tomás Llorens and developed during the final years of the Franco regime and the transition to democracy.
Linked to Pop Art and critical figuration, the group developed a body of work deeply engaged with the political, social, and cultural analysis of Spain during the Franco era and the Transition. Their work was created collaboratively and rejected the assumptions of Informalism and Abstract Expressionism. It is characterized by the appropriation of images from art history, the media, and popular culture, reinterpreted with irony and strong critical content. Through painting, printmaking, and silkscreen, Equipo Crónica challenged official narratives and power structures, becoming one of the key references of political art in 20th-century Spain.
Their work has been exhibited in major international museums and collections and remains essential for understanding the renewal of figuration and artistic engagement in the contemporary European context.
