Manuel Solà, Barcelona, 1950
Piece Cap No. 12, sculpture iron and stone, Year 1998, Dimensions 57 x 30 x 18 cm. Approximate weight: 15 kg.
Artist represented by the Espai Art60 gallery in Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Girona, Spain
Includes certificate of authenticity
Condition of the piece: Good

About the artist:
Manuel Solà (Barcelona, 1950) trained at the Escola Llotja in Barcelona. His artistic development has led him from painting to sculpture.
His pieces are not molded, but built from found objects that he rarely modifies. Rusted irons, washers, hinges or remnants of field tools coexist with stones from different origins: stones from the Saharan hamada, volcanic stones from the island of Gran Canaria and river pebbles.
Solà combines them little by little, without a predefined scheme, until the form appears.
Thus arise figures with an archaic air, influenced by ancient Greek sculpture, speaking of memory, migration and return to the origins.
Currently he is represented by the Espai Art60 gallery in Sant Joan de les Abadesses, Girona, Spain.
Seller's Story
Espai Art60 — Contemporary art from the heart of the Catalan Pyrenees
In Sant Joan de les Abadesses, a small town in Ripollès surrounded by mountains and centuries of Romanesque history, there is a gallery that for years has been doing something simple and at the same time unusual: bringing contemporary art closer to people, without distances or pretensions.
At Espai Art60 we organize exhibitions, accompany artists in their careers and take care of a community of friends and collectors who return again and again. Over time, each exhibition has left works in our collection: pieces we have chosen, hung, explained and defended before the public. Now we want some of them to find a new home through Catawiki.
What will you find in our auctions?
Original and unique works, never decorative reproductions. Painting, sculpture, works on paper and graphic works by contemporary artists, many of them with a strong link to Catalonia and the Mediterranean. Works that speak of matter, landscape, time and memory: from sculpture made with aged wood, oxidized iron and stone, to painting that pauses in light and color.
Each piece goes directly from the gallery. We know its history, the artist and the context in which it was created, and we share it with you in each entry.
Why buy from Espai Art60?
Because behind every work there is a real gallery, with a physical space you can visit and people you can ask. Because we take care of packaging and shipping as if the work were travelling to our own home. And because we believe that a work of art is not just an object: it is a conversation that begins the day you hang it on your wall.
We invite you to discover our active lots and to follow our profile so you don’t miss upcoming auctions. Perhaps the piece you’ve been looking for for a long time is already waiting for you here.
