Summary:

The catalogue revisits the long period the Catalan artist lived under Franco's dictatorship, between 1946 and 1977. A period full of paradoxes of a modern artist through an authoritarian regime. An extensive survey of Antoni Tàpies? production that brings together work often overshadowed by the most recent accounts of that period both in museum displays and art history narratives. A new narrative rounded up by an important number of documents including letters, manifestoes and samples of the media reception Tàpies generated over the years, plus a comparative chronology. Exhibition: Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Barcelona, Spain (08.06.2018 - 17.02.2019).
