About the Item

Antoni Tapies (Spain, 1923-2012) 'Oval i blanc', 1982 etching, aquatint, carborundum on paper Guarro Biblos 250g. 22.1 x 30 in. (56 x 76 cm.) Edition of 99 Unframed ID: TAP1162-018 Hand-signed by author ____________________________________________________________________ Antoni Tàpies was a Spanish artist known for his influential contributions to the abstract art movement. He was born in Barcelona in 1923 and began his artistic career in the 1940s. Tàpies' artwork often incorporated unconventional materials and techniques, such as using waste materials, mud, and sand in his paintings. He developed a distinctive style characterized by a rough and textured surface, often marked with gestural brushstrokes and symbolic motifs. Tàpies' art was deeply rooted in existentialist philosophy and explored themes of spirituality, materiality, and the human condition. He was influenced by Eastern philosophy and Zen Buddhism, which can be seen in the meditative and contemplative quality of his works. Throughout his career, Tàpies gained international recognition and exhibited his art extensively around the world. His works can be found in major museums and collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Tàpies also engaged in political activism and was a prominent figure in the cultural scene of Catalonia. He was awarded numerous honors and accolades, including the prestigious Praemium Imperiale in 2003. Antoni Tàpies passed away in 2012, leaving behind a rich artistic legacy that continues to inspire and influence artists to this day. His unique approach to abstract art and his exploration of philosophical concepts have made him one of the most celebrated Spanish artists of the 20th century.

    Eduardo Chillida (Spain, 1924-2002) 'Munich', 1994 etching, aquatint on paper gray Eskulan 31.5 x 23.9 in. (80 x 60.5 cm.) Edition of 119 (of which 98 correspond to the Arabic numbered edition). P/A: XX (20) Unframed ID: CHI1038-009 Hand-signed by author It appears reviewed in the catalog raisonné “Eduardo Chillida – Opus P.III. 1986-1996”, Chorus – Verlag. Page 278, cat. 94015. ____________________________________________________ He began his career in 1943 studying architecture at the University of Madrid, but in 1947 he dedicated himself to drawing and sculpture, and in 1948 he moved to Paris, then the world capital of the arts. Although he abandoned his studies, his work betrays his architectural training, showing an underlying sense of structural organization, as well as discipline in materials, planning of spatial relationships, and scale of elements. Over the years, the artist turned to materials that showed his investigations into conceptual questions and metaphysical concerns. Chillida's first stone and plaster creations oscillated between the human world and the natural world using figures and images of landscapes. Consistently guided by the quality of space, density and rhythm, his works consider ways in which mass and volume contain space. His public works, which exist on a more massive scale, not only inhabit the space but also determine a qualifying space of their own. His monumental sculptures, designed for both urban and more secluded spaces, are permanently installed internationally and constitute an important facet of his artistic production. The main retrospectives of Chillida's graphic and sculptural work have been mounted by the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston (1966); Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh (1979); National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (1979); Guggenheim Museum (1980); Miramar Palace, San Sebastián (1992); and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (1999). Chillida received numerous awards, including the Grand International Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale (1958), the Kandinsky Prize (1960), the Carnegie Prize for Sculpture (1964), the Andrew Mellon...
