Eduardo Chillida

Eduardo Chillida is one of the great sculptors of the second half of the twentieth century and is primarily known for his large-scale sculptures. His works on paper are a great deal more delicate and subtle, revealing sensitive balances and nuances. A large share of the works presented in the catalogue stems from Chillida’s early period- the late fifties to the early seventies- and are as yet little known. At the time, he worked in the scene around the Galerie Maeght, where artists such as Picasso, Miró and Giacometti published their prints. These prints by Chillida provide wonderful insight into the development of his graphic oeuvre- from the informal gesture to the block-like construction.
