The SOLO Collection is an international project to support contemporary creation based in Madrid and with strong ties to Cantabria. Founded by businessmen Ana Gervás and David Cantolla, it has an art collection that has brought together works by national and international artists since it was established seven years ago. The exhibition I've learned that you have to pray for what you don't know (What I've learned is you have to pray about what you don't know) brings together forty-nine works —belonging to thirty-seven artists— among the more than 900 pieces that the collection has. The selection is an invitation to contemplate contemporary creation from the particular perspective that the works of the SOLO Collection treasure.
