Antoni Tàpies: The resistance of the sign
With this show, Antoni Tàpies. The Resistance of the Sign, the Fundació Vila Casas – an institution dedicated to the dissemination and promotion of contemporary Catalan art – offers an impressive exhibition of one of the most widely known Catalan artists of the second-half of the twentieth century. Painter, sculptor, print maker, and art theoretician, Antoni Tàpies (Barcelona, 1923-2012) emerged as one of the main exponents of European Informalism, an artistic movement that aimed to provide a response to the spiritual crisis spreading across Europe after the Second World War.
