Fundació La Mirada

Fundació La Mirada is a Catalan private foundation constituted on 4 May 1989 in Sabadell, taking its name from the publishing imprint Edicions La Mirada. Its stated objectives are to promote research, study and dissemination of literature and the plastic arts in the period spanning the end of the 19th century to the second half of the 20th century, with a particular focus on Sabadell. The foundation's activities are centred, first, on publishing original texts that remain unpublished or scattered in period newspapers and magazines, and second, on critical re-editions of works that are currently hard to find and little known to the general public. It also collects and disseminates graphic, documentary and creative material in the field of the plastic arts as an indispensable complement to the study of the period. Editorial activity began with the revival of the Ragtime collection — started in 1984 under the editorial auspices of the Sabadell City Council — dedicated primarily to the Colla de Sabadell or Grup de La Mirada. Among other works, the foundation has published Armand Obiols's letters to Mercè Rodoreda and various works by Armand Obiols. From the summer of 2004 until early 2009, thanks to an agreement with the Diputació de Barcelona, the foundation maintained a public exhibition about the Colla de Sabadell at the Marquet de les Roques, a Modernista-style country house that had been the summer residence of the Oliver family.
