Chillida - Tapies
Guggenheim Museum, Berlin
This exhibition, drawn primarily from the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York with significant additions from generous private and public lenders, features examples of how these preeminent artists transform the specifics of personal, political, and intellectual history into evocative works of abstraction.
The stature of Eduardo Chillida and Antoni TÃ pies as artists of historical significance transcends the boundaries of their homeland, Spain, while their work remains informed by their national and local identities.
Chillida, born in San Sebastian in 1924, uses iron and stone culled from the Basque region to create sculptures of great strength and serenity.
TÃ pies's paintings, infused with humble materials such as sand and straw, derive their power from the artist's experiences of Civil War in Barcelona, where he was born in 1923.
