LUQUE TERUEL, Andrés  and  IGLESIAS CUMPLIDO, Alicia. Six Monumental Statues Pending Study from the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition in Seville. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2025, vol.47, n.126, pp.217-242.  Epub Sep 01, 2025. ISSN 0185-1276.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2025.126.2888..

The article examines the authorship of six monumental statues in two sets from the Ibero-American Exhibition in Seville in 1929, assigned by artistic historiography to the sculptors Antonio Bidón and Pedro Navia, or to Francisco Navarro and José Macías, respectively. Given that none of the art historians who cited them gave documentary references or provided formal analyses to confirm the assignments, these authorships remained uncertain. The article presents the findings obtained from the records of the said events preserved in the Municipal Archive of Seville and a subsequent formal study aimed at recognizing the characteristics of the statues and clarifying the identities of the possible authors.

Keywords : Iberoamerican-exhibition; ceramic; sculpture; regionalism; Bidón; Navia.
