Since the beginnings of the IVAM, Josep Renau has had a special significance, not only because of his importance as a pioneer of the historical avant-garde in Valencia during the Second Republic, but also because the IVAM was the object, in 1989, of an extraordinary deposit of his works and his archive and personal library. This fund has subsequently been enriched with two other contributions made by the artist's Foundation in 1991 and 1994.
