Alcalá 31: “Jordi Teixidor. No-res”

From 19 February to 19 April 2026, at Sala Alcalá 31. Madrid.

The Alcalá 31 space presents ‘No-res’, an anthological exhibition on Jordi Teixidor (Valencia, 1941) which brings together more than fifty works, from the 1960s to the present day.
The exhibition invites visitors to explore the different periods of Teixidor’s extensive career. Its title, ‘No-res’, alludes to the concept of the void: according to the artist, it is in the face of total absence that the possibility of presence is born. Therefore, rather than an anthology, the exhibition is an invitation to pause and reflect, through an encounter with Teixidor’s work and personal diary, which transforms Sala Alcalá 31 into a space for dialogue and encounter.
The centrepiece of “Nothingness” is the artist’s 31 work notebooks, brought together for the first time. These publications bring together all of Teixidor’s work, as well as that which he never produced, from 1965 to the present day. They are not just sketches, but an overview of Teixidor’s entire body of work and a way of getting to know the artist and his work through this type of diary.

Jordi Teixidor is considered one of the most prominent figures in Spanish abstraction; his work is renowned for its almost monochromatic paintings and rigorous use of the colour black. Teixidor has lived in Madrid since the early 1980s, following a two-year stay in New York.

He has participated in important events such as the Venice Biennale, as part of the landmark exhibition “Spain: Artistic Avant-Garde and Social Reality. 1936-1976 (1976)”, and “New Images of Spain” at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York (1979). He has held solo exhibitions at the Juan March Foundation in Palma de Mallorca (2025); the Spanish Museum of Abstract Art in Cuenca (2024); the Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM) in Valencia (1997 and 2022); and the University Museum of Contemporary Art-UNAM in Mexico City (1998), among others.

His work forms part of numerous international public and private collections, such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Reina Sofía National Art Museum in Madrid, the Valencian Institute of Modern Art (IVAM) in Valencia, the Juan March Foundation and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

In 2014, his career was recognised with the National Fine Arts Award from the Ministry of Culture, and since 2002 he has been a full Member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando.

The Suñol Foundation is collaborating in this exhibition by lending the following works from the Suñol Soler Collection:

– Jordi Teixidor. Amarillo Mimosa (1978) Oil on canvas
– Jordi Teixidor. Untitled (1980) Oil on canvas
