Fundació Joan Miró to Launch Director Search as Marko Daniel’s Term Ends in June

A local report attributes the move to a dispute over curtailed powers under a new general manager.

Overview

  • The Board announced that Marko Daniel will leave at the end of his mandate in June after serving as director since 2018.
  • Trustees said a formal selection process for a new director will begin in the coming weeks.
  • The official note praised expanded international reach, new strategic sponsorships, and a reinforced operating structure, citing projects in Shenzhen, São Paulo and Beijing.
  • Major exhibitions overseen by Daniel included Paul Klee (2022–23), Miró–Picasso (2023–24), Miró–Matisse (2024–25) and Miró and the United States (2025–26).
  • The institution did not specify whether the exit is a dismissal or a resignation, while La Vanguardia reports internal tensions over a reduction of Daniel’s authority following the appointment of manager Marga Sala in 2024.
