Damaged fabric lampshade (loose from the base and frame. The lampshade is superimposed on the base and has no other support). Provenance: House in Llavaneras (Barcelona) with an interior designed entirely by Pere Cosp in 1948-1949, referenced on the website dedicated to the author, perecosp.wordpress.com, which lists the most important interior designs he made for individuals and companies. Measurements: 19,5 x 19,5 x 10 cm.(wall lamp); 26 x 31 x 15 cm.(screen). Pere Cosp was an interior designer from Barcelona. With a largely self-taught background, Pere Cosp redirected the family craft workshop towards interior design and integral decoration. The profession served him to give free rein to his creative talent, intentionally distanced from the fashions and trends of the time. Proof of the non-conformist and restless personality that defined him are the designs of his furniture, which still retain an innovative and transgressive spirit. Cosp attended the Escuela de Artes y Bellos Oficios (School of Arts and Crafts), as well as the perspective classes of Professor Arola. But more important for him was the practical part: entering the family workshop and experiencing at first hand all the trades that were carried out there: gilding, mouldings and all kinds of restoration work. He also worked with the furniture maker Alonso and the decorator Parcerises. Pere Cosp was a pioneer in the use of materials that could be called humble, such as pine wood, chipboard, raffia, etc., which he elevated to a higher level through their treatment and use. He often collaborated with other trades: in the field of metalwork, he worked with Biosca y Botey and Pere Peronella. In this line of collaborations, he produced screen feet, wall sconces, outdoor furniture for gardens, an extensive collection of knobs and handles. The decoration of these elements or the final finishing was always done in the workshop. He made combinations of great beauty: stone, marble - Terra Passani was the main supplier - mosaic, in collaboration with Bru, glass, Granell, enamel, Morató, lacquer, according to drawings by his daughter Guillermina, parchment, with which he made wonderful small tables, doors, bed headboards, etc,

MOISÉS VILLÈLIA (Barcelona, 1928 - 1994). "Model" 1978-1979. Bamboo and ceramic material (brick). Attached is an original sketch signed, dated, located and titled by the artist. Measurements: 60 x 45 x 20 cm. Moisés Sanmarón Puig, with the artistic name Villèlia, was a sculptor linked to the abstract movement, who initially identified himself with the artistic concerns of the Dau al Set group. He learned wood carving in the workshop of his father, a renowned craftsman, and during his childhood he received a rationalist education, interrupted by the outbreak of the Civil War. After the war, his family moved from Barcelona to Mataró. In 1945 Villèlia's interest in poetry was born, when he produced his first works, figurative wood carvings, with expressively elongated and dynamic profiles. He exhibited his work for the first time in 1949, at the Museum of Mataró. Four years later, after working with his father on the woodwork for the chapel of Santa Ana in the city, he decided to devote himself fully to sculpture. In these years he made his first non-figurative pieces, which adopted tubular forms, with longitudinal channels and Punctures. He came into contact with the Barcelona art world, especially with the poet Rabasseda and the critic Alexandre Cirici, and in 1954 he held his first solo exhibition, again at the Museum of Mataró. He presented a selection of his first works, reliefs that combined the influences of modernism and Eastern philosophies, which since his teenage readings were a constant in his life. In 1963 he devised the assemblages, pieces that could be combined according to the buyer's taste, and his growing interest in networks was awakened. With a scholarship from the French Institute in Barcelona, he moved to Paris in 1967. In the French capital he worked with perforated paper as the main material for his works. Two years later he moved to Argentina, where his brother, also a sculptor, lived, and finally settled in Quito, where he remained until 1972. When he returned to Spain, he moved to the town of Molló, in Girona, where he dedicated himself to making surrealist sculptures in which he used willow wood and assemblages of objects, which gave his works from this period a certain humorous sense. He died in 1994, and in 1999 the IVAM in Valencia dedicated a large retrospective exhibition to him. He is currently represented at the MACBA in Barcelona, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid.
