The Delegation of the Government in the Canary Islands makes known to all citizens the historical-artistic properties found in its headquarters in Gran Canaria and La Palma, through a series of Heritage Guides accessible in its web page.
In the case of the shared headquarters of the Delegation of the Government in the Canary Islands and the Subdelegation of the Government in Las Palmas, located in the Plaza de la Feria in the capital of Gran Canaria, a guide has been published that includes cataloguing sheets of artistic goods, both works of art belonging to the Delegation and those ceded as a temporary deposit by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Centro Atlántico de Arte Moderno (CAAM) and the Casa de Colón.
These works include paintings by Néstor Martín Fernández de la Torre, Jesús Arencibia, Francisco Gutiérrez “Pancho” Cossío, Nicolás Massieu y Matos, Peregrín Hernández, Alberto Manrique, Juan Guillermo, Martínez Novillo, Cristino de Vera Reyes, José Luis Cedrés, Joaquín Vaquero Turcios, Pedro González y González, Luis Palmero, Rafael Monagas, Pepe Dámaso and Rafael Bethencourt López.
For its part, the building that houses the Insular Directorate of the General Administration of the State in La Palma also has a heritage of value that is material testimony of the political, social and aesthetic transformations that have defined the island throughout the 20th century and that is now accessible to all citizens through a space of its own within the government delegation website.
For this reason, a Heritage Guide has been published, which proposes to unveil the multiple layers of meaning that make up the heritage of the Island Directorate in La Palma, offering both a documented tour of its artistic and architectural elements and a reflection on its role in the collective memory of the island.
And also a catalogue of historical-artistic goods, which exposes in detail a list of the pictorial, decorative and movable works of art that are part of the heritage of the Island Directorate, among them paintings by Juan Fernández González, Francisco Concepción Pérez, Carlos Concepción Gibrán, Juan José Lorenzo Padrón, Guido Kolitscher, Roberto Rodríguez Castillo, Jorge Negerez, Ramírez Ayuar, Lila Insúa Lintridis, Víctor Manuel Ortega Esparza and Alberto Marcí, a lithograph by Caraz.
