JORDI VILANOVA (Barcelona, 1925-1998). Suspension lamp "Anella" Series, 1967. Polished brass and parchment lampshade. Measurements: 68 x 44 x 44 cm. Suspension lamp of the Anella series designed and produced by Jordi Vilanova in 1967. A paradigmatic example of the conjunction that Vilanova carried out between traditional techniques and new materials of industrial type. Polished brass structure and parchment shade. Vilanova defended the functionality, simplicity and purity of lines. He could be described as a modern classic, as is evident in this lamp. Catalan interior designer and cabinetmaker, Jordi Vilanova entered the School of Work and Artistic Trades of La Lonja in 1939. He completed his training in the workshop of Busquets, and between 1940 and 1953 he collaborated in the studio of Lluís Gili. Jordi Vilanova was founder and promoter of the Catalan art magazine "Questions d'Art" (1967-74). In 1974 he opened premises with a permanent exhibition of furniture and upholstery of his own design, forming part of the Official College of Interior Decorators and Designers of Barcelona and the SAD. His modern furniture and his way of resolving spaces were initially aimed at a large public of limited economic resources and, consequently, homes with less living space. However, this great majority did not understand his proposal. Instead, it was the Catalan bourgeoisie, eager to break with outdated stylistic canons, who embraced his work. His specialty was furniture for children, such as the Delta stool, which won the Delta de Plata Prize awarded by the ADI/FAD in 1964. He held exhibitions of his work in Scandinavia. Among his most representative designs are the Tiracord and Billar chairs (1961), the Montseny MP bunk bed (1961), the Tartera (1966) and Petit (1978) rocking chairs and the Z magazine rack (1987) designed together with his son Pau Vilanova Vila-Abadal. It is currently represented in the Design Museum of Barcelona.

LEOPOLDO NÓVOA GARCÍA (Pontevedra, 1919 - Paris, 2012) "Four reliefs". 1982. Oil on táblex. Signed and dated in the lower corner. Measurements: 71 x 53 cm; 94 x 75 cm (frame). In this work the author uses an abstract language based on irregular geometry. It is an open style, whose basic characteristic is the conception of the pictorial surface as a whole, as an open field, without limits and without hierarchy. A painter and sculptor with a Galician mother and Uruguayan father, Leopoldo Nóvoa emigrated to Uruguay in 1938, where he became associated with Joaquín Torres García. Settled in Montevideo, where he founded the cultural magazine "Apex", he was also a great friend of Jorge Oteiza and, once settled in Buenos Aires (1948-1957), of Lucio Fontana, who had a notable influence on his work. He finally left America in 1965 to settle in Paris with Michel Tapié, who had been impressed by his mural in the Luis Tróccoli Stadium in Montevideo. In Paris he met Julio Cortázar, who wrote a story about his work. He also founded, together with other outstanding Uruguayan and Argentinean painters, the Espacio Latinoamericano. However, he did not hold his first exhibition until 1964. This took place at the gallery of Edouard Loeb, with whom he would collaborate for many years. His work, which ranges from drawing and painting to murals and pyrography, abstractly evokes his memories of Galicia, with a language that shows references to abstract expressionism and informalism. Nóvoa was awarded prizes such as the Castelao Medal (1993), the City of Pontevedra Prize (1997) and the Premio da Crítica Galicia (2002). He is currently represented in the Abanca and Caixanova collections, among others.
