EVA LOOTZ (Vienna, 1940). "The frozen boats", 1990. Painted wood (structure) and wax (feet). Provenance: Luis Adelantado Gallery. Measurements: 230 x 170 cm. "The frozen boats" was a project of Eva Lootz that consisted of the placement of boats rescued from some port and other objects (like the structure that in bidding) with a careful staging. The allusion to the cold was achieved by the Viennese artist through the use of white kerosene, which covered the surfaces of the installation like snow. This, together with the wax used in our structure, are apparently materials without great material value, but with a great symbolic charge for Lootz. The boats of this project are part of the permanent collection of the MEIAC (Museo Extremeño e Iberoamericano de Arte Contemporáneo) since 1995. A Viennese artist who has lived in Madrid since 1965, Eva Lootz was trained in her native city, where she studied Fine Arts, Musicology, Cinematography and Philosophy. Although she is mainly known for her sculptural work, Lootz also works in installation, drawing, printmaking, photography, video and sound, always focusing on her main concern: the relationship between matter and language. She began her exhibition activity in 1973, and since then she has held regular solo exhibitions both in Spain and abroad, in galleries and art centers such as the Galleriet in Lund (Sweden, 1981), the David Breitzel in New York (1990), the Barbara Faber of Amsterdam (1990, 1994, 1996), the South London of London (1994), the Fundación Pilar i Joan Miró of Palma (1996), the Luis Adelantado of Valencia (1997), the Borås Konstmuseum (Sweden, 1997) or the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid (2002).
