Description from the seller
ABOUT THE PRINT
- Litograph, etching on Rives paper.
- The work comes from the Silvia Noto collection, who was responsible for the distribution and conservation of editions produced by Erker Presse.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Antoni Tàpies was a Catalan artist and one of the most influential figures of 20th-century European informalism. Largely self-taught, he combined inspiration from the avant-garde and Eastern tradition to create his own language where matter and spirit intertwine. He used materials such as earth, sand, marble dust and everyday objects, creating dense surfaces with symbols that evoke memory, fragility and transcendence. In 1984, he created the Antoni Tàpies Foundation, consolidating an artistic and intellectual legacy that combines experimentation and critical reflection.
In the 1950s, he achieved international recognition by participating in the Venice Biennale and Documenta in Kassel. He was awarded the Grand Prize for Painting in Venice (1958) and later the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts (1990). He was also named a marquis by King Juan Carlos I in 2010.
