In 1937, amid the horrors of the raging Civil War, Spain's republican government built a small pavilion at the Paris International Exposition. This small temporary structure housed what were to become some of the most important artworks of the twentieth century: Picasso’s Guernica, Miró's The Reaper, Alexander Calder’s Mercury Fountain and a great many more besides.


These works were radical screams of agony, from a contingent of left-wing artists who wanted to tell the world what was happening in Spain. The Spanish government sought to use the Pavilion as a means of political propaganda, to reveal the cruelty of Franco’s regime.

This January, Mayfair's Mayoral gallery is to recreate the impact of this small yet mighty exhibition by bringing together much of the art, as well as archival material.


You'll find work from masters such as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Alexander Calder and Julio González, alongside important archival material, such as rare propaganda posters from the original pavilion.


Come and discover art as a force for change. In this turbulent tim, perhaps we need our own version.

  • Gazelle

    Walking into Gazelle is like entering a private members' club, discreetly signed, upstairs in an Edwardian Mayfair building with its own elevator. It is perfectly possible to dip inside for pre-dinner cocktail. For a post-dinner moody tryst it is most inviting too.
