Lithograph in colors on BFK Rives wove paper (watermark)
Switzerland, 1965
Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012) – Spanish painter, graphic artist and sculptor
Signed lower right in pencil ‘tàpies’
Numbered lower left in pencil ‘55/75’
Plate from the portfolio ‘Album St. Gallen’
With the blindstamp of Erker Presse St. Gallen
In broad wooden frame
Image dimensions: 62.5 x 48.8 cm
Good condition
Antoni Tàpies is considered one of the most important artists of the 20th century, and as the best-known representatives of the Spanish Informel; the auction record for a monotype by Antoni Tàpies is set at more than €59,000
Numbers and characters such as the X are also typical pictorial elements of the Spanish artist Antoni Tàpies as they are references to the human being. Thus in this lithograph from the portfolio ‘Album St. Gallen’ a large composition determining cross shape, numbers and unreadable crossed out font and prints of human heels of hands are to find.
The lithograph in colors is signed lower right in pencil ‘tàpies’ and numbered lower left in pencil ‘55/75’. The sheet is overall in good condition with a thin linear color trace parallel to the right edge and very occasional unobtrusive creases. It is affixed to a mat at three spots at the reverse upper edge. The frame is overall in good condition with slight signs of wear. The image measures 62.5 x 48.8 cm, the sheet 76.3 x 56.5 cm. The framed dimensions are 105.5 x 86 cm.
Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012)
Antoni Tàpies is one of the main representatives of Spanish Art Informel. In the style of the ‘pintura matèrica’ movement, he mixed materials like sand, cement, marble dust and glue in his paintings, adding letters, symbols and crosses. He taught himself to draw and paint while still at school. Tàpies attended law school for three years, and then studied painting at the Acadèmia Valls in Barcelona. He was among the founders of the art group ‘Dau al Set’, a movement with links to the surrealist and Dadaist artists. His interest for philosophy led him to read existentialist literature. Tàpies’s works are represented in international museums and were shown at the Venice Biennale and documenta in Kassel. In 1884, Tàpies founded the Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona, where he lived and worked until his death in 2012. In 2010, he was honored with the title ‘Marqués’ by the Spanish king Juan Carlos I.
