Antoni Tàpies

(1923-2012) Tàpies is one of the main exponents of informalism worldwide: the Spanish painter, sculptor and art theorist has received numerous awards and distinctions throughout his career.

He was one of the pioneers in transforming into artistic elements what at first seemed to be discarded: strings, paper, scraps… this interest in matter comes from the initial influence of Miró and Klee, who led him to increase iconography and color studies. This mixture gives rise to works of great expressive and communicative capacity.
