Sala de Bóvedas at the Casa de la Panadería is hosting an exhibition on the multi-award-winning film costume designer Yvonne Blake, winner of an Oscar, four Goya Awards, the National Film Award, and former president of the Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Spain. It offers a global look at the legacy of Yvonne Blake (Manchester, 1940 – Madrid, 2018), an experience in which to get to know the British designer better, whose life was closely linked to the city of Madrid. She stood out as a pioneering figure within the film industry, being a defender of gender equality in cinema.
The exhibition has been organized by the Association of Plastic, Performing and Audiovisual Artists of Spain (AAPEE) and is sponsored by Madrid City Council through the General Coordination area of the Mayor's Office and with the collaboration of Madrid Film Office , attached to the Delegated Area of Tourism.
It is the largest collection of Blake's original pieces ever exhibited, thanks to the support of one of Spain's leading costume companies, Peris Costumes, and contributions from private collectors, organizations and the designer's family. This brings together a wide variety of costumes, original sketches, and work photographs, as well as previously unseen projections.
