LUIS FEITO (Madrid, 1929-2021).Untitled, 1956.Oil on canvas.Work published in the Catalogue of the exhibition: Feito. Work 1952-2002. Retrospective of the artist at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid. 2002. P. 114.Presents stamp on the frame of the Egam Gallery (Madrid).Signed in the lower left corner. Signed and dated on the back.Measurements: 57 x 57 cm; 79 x 79 cm (frame).In this work the author conceives the image only through scarce colors, giving prominence to white, red and black, typical of his works of the sixties. These become aware of each other, merging to show a subtle range of shades referring to each of the colors, creating in turn a play of light and shadow that starts from the texture of the work itself. This characteristic denotes the great technical skill of the author, who not only plays with the aesthetic result but also with the symbolic charge associated with each of the colors. 56 was a year of great relevance in the artist's career, since it is when he moved to Paris and settled in the city, thanks to a scholarship. The works of this period show a great tension between the empirical and the theoretical world. Close to abstraction, his compositions still show a certain trace of the physical, which he tried to eliminate. During 1956 and 1958, his works aesthetically approached informalism, although without completely abandoning geometry.Born and trained in Madrid, he was one of the founding members of the El Paso group. In 1954 he held his first solo exhibition, with non-figurative works, at the Buchholz gallery in Madrid. From that moment on Feito exhibited regularly in the most important cities of the world, such as Paris, Milan, New York, Helsinki, Tokyo and Rome. Appointed professor of the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando in 1954, two years later he leaves teaching and goes to Paris with a scholarship, in order to study the current avant-garde movements. During this period he was influenced by automatism and matter painting. In 1962 he became a founding member of the El Paso group, with which he had lost contact during his years in Paris. His first works are inscribed within figurative painting, to then go through a phase in which he experiments with cubism, and finally fully enter into abstraction. At the beginning he only used black, ochre and white colors, but when he discovered the potential of light, he began to use more vivid colors and smooth planes. He evolved to use red as a counterpoint in his compositions (since 1962) and, in general, more intense colors. In his abstract phase, which includes the 1970s, Feito shows a clear tendency towards simplification, with the circle predominating in his compositions as a geometric form. Possibly, the influence of Japanese art can be seen in his preference for large bands of black. Most of his works are untitled, so they are usually recognized by a number assigned to them. Among his awards is his appointment as Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters of France in 1985. In 1998 he received the Gold Medal of Fine Arts in Madrid, and was appointed Full Member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. In 2000 he was awarded the Prize of the Spanish Association of Art Critics at the Estampa Salon, in 2002 the AECA Grand Prize for the best international artist at ARCO, in 2003 the prize for the most relevant artist at the Osaka Art Fair (Japan), in 2004 the Prize for the Culture of Plastic Arts of the Community of Madrid, in 2005 the Francisco Tomás Prieto Prize of the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre, and in 2008 the Jorge Alió Foundation Prize and the Grand Prize for Spanish Contemporary Art CESMAI. Luis Feito is represented in the most important museums around the world.

JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955)."Composition", 1993.Mixed media on paper.Signed and dated in the lower left-hand corner.Size: 58 x 40 cm; 79 x 60,5 cm (frame).Jaume Plensa studied at the Llotja School and the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts, both in Barcelona. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist. He currently lives in Paris, and has recently been awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has had solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including a retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in 2000. Throughout his career he has received numerous distinctions, such as the Medal of the Knights of Arts and Letters, awarded by the French Ministry of Culture, and the National Prize for Plastic Arts, awarded by the Generalitat de Catalunya. His work is present in the best national and international galleries and art fairs, as well as in the main museums in Europe and the United States, such as the MOMA in New York, the Kemper in Kansas, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Palazzo Forti in Verona, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo in Barcelona and the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

VICENTE ARNÁS LOZANO (Madrid, 1949)."Circocerentes", 2010.Oil on canvas.Attached certificate of authenticity issued by the artist.Signed in the lower right corner. Signed, dated and titled on the back.Measurements: 95 x 115 cm; 73 x 92 cm (frame).The images of Vicente Arnás always stand out for their realism, in which he introduces an element of distortion that results in disturbing works, close to magical realism or surrealism. Creating independent and personal universes such as the one reflected in this painting.Vicente Arnás is a painter from Madrid who began his artistic career linked to the world of advertising. After several years of experience, in 1976, he had his first individual exhibition, which was held in the Sala Macarrón in Madrid. After the success of his first exhibition, he began an exhibition career that has taken him to places such as New York and different European countries. He has participated in prestigious fairs such as Arco, or Europ Art, held in Geneva. He has also been awarded on numerous occasions, being medal of honour in the BMW painting prize and receiving the prize of the Real maestranza of Seville, among others. This has earned him the recognition of both the public and the critics. His painting is characterised by the recreation of dreamlike, placid worlds, where time seems to stand still. He creates worlds of realistic aesthetics, close to currents such as magical realism, or to influences such as those of the painter Arcimboldo or Bosch. For a period he was part of the group "Nueve expresiones" with whom he exhibited in several collective exhibitions.

ANTONI CLAVÉ I SANMARTÍ (Barcelona, 1913 - Saint Tropez, France, 2005)."Tête au Fond Blanc", 1972.Mixed media on marbled paper on canvas.Signed in the lower right corner.Enclosed certificates of authenticity issued by the artist and by Nathalie Clavé.Measurements: 54 x 76 cm; 80,5 x 103,5 cm (frame).Work catalogued in the Antoni Clavé Archives with the number 72 TMCMT 7.In this work Antoni Clavé proposes an autonomous scenography in itself, which transcends painting, confusing the eye, to construct a dialogue between reality and what is painted by means of the union of colour, stain and stroke with a real object, clearly recognisable as such, which, however, is only present in the form of a trace: a crochet handkerchief. The play of illusions is reinforced by the treatment of this handkerchief print; Clavé respects its outlines, the smallest detail of its design, works it in white and highlights it over black stains that emphasise its three-dimensionality much more effectively than if it had been painted directly on the neutral tone, of a disturbing flesh colour, which occupies the background of the work.Antoni Clavé is one of the most important figures in Spanish contemporary art. Trained at the San Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, Clavé initially devoted himself to advertising graphics, illustration and the decorative arts. In 1936 he took an active part in the Civil War, joining the Republican ranks, which led him to go into exile in France at the end of the war. That same year, 1939, he exhibited the drawings he had made on the battlefields. He settled in Paris, where he met Vuillard, Bonnard and Picasso. From this period onwards, Clavé began to develop a work marked by a different, less classical style. During this period his figures gradually lost their precision and form, giving way to the lines and a personal range of colours and textures that were to become the main features of his works from that time onwards. He was already enjoying great international prestige at the time when he began to be recognised in Spain, after his exhibition at the Sala Gaspar in Barcelona in 1956. In 1952 he made the sets for the film "Hans Christian Andersen", by Charles Vidor, and was nominated for an Oscar. In 1954 he gave up decorating to devote himself to painting. In the 1960s he painted a tribute to El Greco, and his painting at this time reveals the influences of that master, as well as those of the Baroque painters. Of particular relevance is the theme of the knight with his hand on his chest, a reference that would be repeated in Clavé's future works. This period is characterised by the definitive transition to abstraction. In the 1970s Clavé's work continued to evolve, using various techniques such as collage, and inventing new ones such as "papier froissé", the result of a chance use of aerosol on crumpled paper. In 1978, the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris, now the Centre Georges Pompidou, devoted a retrospective to him that made him one of the most prestigious artists of his generation. In the 1980s he dedicated a series of works to Picasso under the title "To Don Pablo". His latest works are characterised by the recreation of textures within abstraction, with a profuse use of papier froissé. He was awarded prizes at the Hallimark in New York in 1948, at the Venice Biennial in 1954 and at the Tokyo International Biennial in 1957. In 1984 the Spanish state recognised his artistic value with the exhibition of more than one hundred of his works in the Spanish pavilion at the Venice Biennale. That same year he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Clavé's work can be found, among many others, in the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, the Tate Gallery, the Modern Art Museum in Paris and Tokyo, the British Museum and the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid.

ANTONÍ TÀPIES PUIG (Barcelona, 1923 - 2012).Untitled, 1970.Paint and pencil on cardboard.Attached certificate of authenticity issued by the Comissió Tàpies.Work registered in the Archive of the artist's complete works, no. T-9836.Signed in the lower right-hand corner.Measurements: 42 x 29.5 cm; 77 x 65 cm (frame).In this sober painting Tapies emphasises in the composition two elements which he arranges on an ochre background with a complex tonal gradation. They are an expressive red line that denotes the artist's passion and a cross, an iconographic element that Tapies made his own. A cross that is not religious, but spiritual, as the artist described in the article Cruces, equis y otras contradicciones, included in the book El arte y sus lugares (1999): "The interest in the cross is a consequence of the great variety of meanings, often partial and apparently different, that have been given to it: crosses (and also Xs), as coordinates of space, as an image of the unknown, as a symbol of mystery, as a sign of a territory, as a mark to sacralise different places, objects, people or fragments of the body, as a stimulus to inspire mystical feelings, to remember death and, specifically, the death of Christ, as an expression of a concept, paradoxical, as a mathematical sign, to erase another image, to manifest a disagreement, to deny something."Co-founder of "Dau al Set" in 1948, Tàpies began to exhibit at the Salones de Octubre in Barcelona, as well as at the Salón de los Once held in Madrid in 1949. After his first solo exhibition at the Galerías Layetanas, he travels to Paris in 1950, with a grant from the Institut Français. In 1953 he had a solo exhibition at Martha Jackson's gallery in New York. From then on, he exhibited his work, both in group and solo shows, all over the world, in leading galleries and museums such as the Guggenheim in New York and the Museum of Modern Art in Paris. Since the 1970s, anthologies have been devoted to him in Tokyo, New York, Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid, Venice, Milan, Vienna and Brussels. Self-taught, Tàpies created his own style within the avant-garde art of the 20th century, combining tradition and innovation in an abstract style full of symbolism, giving great importance to the material substratum of the work. It is worth noting 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 internationally, being exhibited in the most prestigious museums in the world. Throughout his career he has received numerous prizes and distinctions, including the Praemium Imperiale of Japan, the National Prize for Culture, the Grand Prix for Painting in France, the Wolf Foundation for the Arts (1981), the Gold Medal of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1983), the Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts (1990), the Picasso Medal of Unesco (1993) and the Velázquez Prize for the Plastic Arts (2003). Antoni Tàpies is represented in major museums all over the world, such as the foundation that bears his name in Barcelona, the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Guggenheim in Berlin, Bilbao and New York, the Fukoka Art Museum in Japan, the MoMA in New York and the Tate Gallery in London.
