Fundació Antoni Tàpies Information
The Fundació Antoni Tàpies (Antoni Tàpies Foundation) was set up in 1984 by the Catalan artist Antoni Tàpies in order to promote the study and knowledge of modern and contemporary art. The Fundació opened its doors in June 1990 in the building of the former Montaner i Simon publishing house, originally designed by the Modernista architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner.
The Fundació owns one of the most complete collections of Tàpies’ oeuvre, largely made up of donations by Antoni and Teresa Tàpies, and stages temporary exhibitions, symposia, lectures and film seasons with a range of publications that complement the activities and periodic shows of Tàpies’ work.

Tàpies’ production in the 1960s and 1970s is characterised both by the consolidation of the language of the ‘matter paintings’, begun around 1954–55, and by his determination to incorporate the object into his work. In common with a new generation of artists working in the late 1950s, reality came to the fore as a reaction against the predominance of Informalism and Abstract Expressionism over the preceding two decades.
