Antoni Tàpies EXHIBITION PROGRAM

This exhibition focuses on the period between the late 1950s and the late 1980s, and shows the way the artist moved forward and established connections between his matter paintings, objects and varnishes. Although the opacity of the walls and the humbleness of the objects are in stark contrast with the luminosity of the varnishes, all these works follow the same logic: the revaluation of prime matter, of the natural and ordinary, of all those things that society rejects or hides out of shame, but that for Tàpies are not only endowed with spirituality, but above all are where the origin and the force of life lies, the fertiliser that feeds the soil.
