About the Author

Antoni Tàpies i Puig, (Barcelona, ​​December 13, 1923 - February 6, 2012), was a Spanish painter, sculptor and art theorist. One of the main exponents of informalism worldwide, he is considered one of the most prominent Spanish artists of the 20th century. The work of the Catalan artist enjoys a study and conservation center at the Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona.

With self-taught training, Tàpies created his own style within the avant-garde art of the 20th century, in which tradition and innovation were combined within an abstract style, but full of symbolism, giving great relevance to the material substrate of the construction site. It is worth highlighting the marked spiritual sense given by the artist to his work, where the material support transcends its state to signify a profound analysis of the human condition.

Tàpies' work has been highly valued both nationally and internationally, being exhibited in the most prestigious museums in the world. Throughout his career he has received numerous awards and distinctions, including the Wolf Foundation Prize for the Arts (1981), the Gold Medal of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1983), the Prince of Asturias Award for Arts (1990), the UNESCO Picasso Medal (1993) and the Velázquez Prize for Plastic Arts (2003). In recognition of his artistic career, King Juan Carlos I granted him the title of Marquis of Tàpies on April 9, 2010. (Source: Wikipedia)
