About the artist

Antonio Seguí, one of the most internationally renowned Argentine artists, was born in 1934 in Córdoba. He studied at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, Spain, as well as at the School of Fine Arts in Paris, France. In 1955, he returned to Córdoba, where he studied law and exhibited his first paintings. He traveled extensively through South and Central America before moving permanently to France in 1963, where he lived and worked in Arcueil near Paris until he passed away in February 2022 at the age of 88 in Buenos Aires.

At the beginning of his career, Seguís's work was close to expressionist figuration, full of irony. Gradually, his figuration evolved into the absurd, and he built a kind of theater, a stage where a man in motion searches for his place in the world. Using charcoal, pastel, pencil, or ink, he brings to life a colorful and graphic world that seems to come from the universe of comics, with the bustling city life as its backdrop.
Seguís Werke are collected and exhibited worldwide, including at the MoMA in New York; the Art Museum of the Americas in Washington, DC; the Frissiras Museum in Athens, Greece; the Museo de Arte Moderno in Buenos Aires, Argentina; the Museum der Moderne Salzburg in Austria; the Museum of Modern Art Dubrovnik in Croatia; and the Museo Tamayo in Mexico City, Mexico. The Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris organized a retrospective of his works on paper in 2005. His works are part of the permanent collections of the Musée National d’Art Moderne in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, as well as the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, DC, among others.
