Biographical note: "Antoni Tapies was born on December 13, 1923, in Barcelona...[His] early work was influenced by the art of Max Ernst, Paul Klee, and Joan Miro, and by Eastern philosophy. His art was exhibited for the first time in the controversial Salo d’Octubre, Barcelona, in 1948. He soon developed a recognizable personal style related to materisme (matter art), or Art Informel, a movement that focused on the materials of art making...During the 1950s and 1960s, Tapies exhibited in major museums and galleries throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, and South America....Retrospectives were presented at the Musee national d’art moderne, Paris (1973), and Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York (1977)...In 1990, the Fundacio Antoni Tapies opened in Barcelona, established in Tapies’s name to study and exhibit modern and contemporary art...In 1993, he and Cristina Iglesias represented Spain at the Venice Biennale, where his installation was awarded the Golden Lion. Other retrospectives were presented at the Jeu de Paume, Paris (1994); Guggenheim Museum SoHo, New York (1995); and Museo nacional centro de arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (2000). From 2004 to 2005, a major international retrospective was organized by the Museu d’art contemporani de Barcelona, traveling to the Patio Herreriano, Museo de art contemporáneo español, Valladolid, Spain; Museo de arte de Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico; Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo; and Singapore Art Museum. Tapies died on February 6, 2012, in Barcelona." (Source: The Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation)
