Palazuelo, París 13 Rue Saint-Jaques (1948– 1968)

Fundación Juan March; Fundación-Museo Jorge Oteiza

In June 2010, coinciding with the 62nd anniversary of Pablo Palazuelo’s departure for Paris, the Fundación Juan March, together with the Fundación-Museo Jorge Oteiza, presented an exhibition that dealt with the almost 20 years Palazuelo spent in the French capital and which would be essential in his work since during this period he would adopt the abstract and geometric language present in his later production. The catalogue includes the hundred works, many unpublished, shown in the exhibition, passages by the curator, Alfonso de la Torre, and poems by the artist that filled many of the pages of his sketchbooks.

Not only his pictorial and sculptural works are presented here, but also all the scenographies for opera and theatre (many of them unpublished) in which Arroyo worked from the seventies onwards.

The Andy Warhol. From A to B and back again exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York, 2018) examined in its entirety the work of one of the most recognizable and influential American artists, Andy Warhol, who understood the growing power of images in contemporary life and expanded the boundaries of what we mean by art, experimenting with non-traditional artistic techniques. The catalogue published for the exhibition includes essays by eminent academics and contemporary artists such as Barbara Kruger on a variety of subjects, some of which are still contemporary nowadays.

Manolo Millares. Pinturas. Catálogo Razonado

Monographic catalogue published in 1999 on the occasion of the exhibitions that the city of Milan hosted simultaneously in various locations to commemorate the centenary of the birth of Lucio Fontana, and which aimed to present the relevance of the artist who in 1930 was the first to exhibit non-figurative sculpture in Italy and soon after founded the movement of spatialism.

Dalí i Barcelona

Ricard Mas

This volume, written by Ricard Mas and published in 2017, analyses in a widely documented way the links between Dalí and the city of Barcelona; it reviews, on the one hand, the artists’ work and, on the other, his experiences and relations with certain sectors of Barcelona society.
