Antoni Tàpies

Antoni Tàpies (1923–2012) was a Catalan painter and sculptor who exhibited in major museums and galleries throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, and South America. Retrospectives of his work have been mounted at the Jeu de Paume, Paris, and the Guggenheim Museum, New York, as well as at the Museo nacional centro de arte Reina Sofía in Madrid. In 1990 the Tàpies Foundation opened in Barcelona, housing some 2,000 of his works.
