Marko Daniel has announced that he will step down as the director of the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona, with his last day expected to be in June 2024. He has been leading the institution since 2018, during which he has successfully overseen two consecutive terms. The Board of Trustees acknowledged Daniel's contributions, particularly during challenging yet fruitful periods in the foundation's history, especially marked by the institution's recent celebration of its 50th anniversary.

Under Daniel's leadership, the Fundació Joan Miró has expanded its presence both locally and internationally. The official statement highlighted the advancements the foundation has made in terms of its management model, suggesting that under Daniel's guidance, the foundation has not only built upon its historical significance but also enhanced its operational capabilities. The emphasis on seeking a new director indicates that the foundation is looking to continue to grow and adapt in the evolving cultural landscape.

As the foundation moves forward with the selection process for a new director, it remains to be seen how the upcoming leadership will influence its direction and initiatives. This leadership transition comes at a pivotal moment, and the foundation's ability to maintain its momentum and donor support will be critical as it looks towards the future and aims to continue paying homage to the legacy of Joan Miró, one of Spain's most celebrated artists.
