BILBAO, SPAIN, February 24, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Bilbao Fine Arts Museum is welcoming an exhibition of Alberto Schommer's work to its BBK Room, entitled Schommer Retrospective 1952-2009.

Fans of photography may see this as the perfect excuse to travel to the Basque country and relax in Bilbao hotels, as Schommer is known as one of the top photographers to have come out of Spain in the last few decades, according to the venue.

Born in nearby Vitoria, he has produced many still life photographs, portraits, landscapes and "cracklegraphs" which have been incorporated into the Spanish canon of photography.

The Schommer Retrospective 1952-2009 offers art buffs an opportunity to learn all about the impact that his work had on the country and on other artists though this exposition of about 100 pieces.

It will be on display until May 16th in the BBK Room, with the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum open from Tuesday to Sunday - 10.00 to 20:00 local time.

General admission is EUR6 (GBP5.22), but concessions range from EUR4.50 for students, the elderly and groups of more than 15, to free entry for the under-12s and the disabled.

Describing the artist, the establishment remarked: "His unusual, idiosyncratic approach to the portrait was to have a major impact in the 1970s and 80s, and his photographs became a kind of visual chronicle of the Transition."

If you're heading to the Schommer Retrospective this year, we strongly advise that you book your hoteles Bilbao as soon as possible, given the huge popularity of the event.
