ANTONI TÀPIES PUIG (Barcelona, 1923 - 2012). "Glissement", 1981. Etching, aquatint and carborundum, P.A. copy. Signed and justified by hand. With stamped seal of Barbará Calcografía, Barcelona. Measurements: 60 x 69 cm (print); 80,5 x 121 cm (paper). Co-founder of "Dau al Set" in 1948, Tàpies begins to exhibit in the Salones de Octubre in Barcelona, as well as in the Salón de los Once held in Madrid in 1949. After his first solo exhibition at the Layetanas Galleries, he travels to Paris in 1950, with a grant from the French Institute. In 1953 he had a solo exhibition at Martha Jackson's New York gallery. From then on, his exhibitions, both collective and individual, were held all over the world, in outstanding galleries and museums such as the Guggenheim in New York or the Modern Art Museum in Paris. Since the seventies, anthologies have been dedicated to him in Tokyo, New York, Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid, Venice, Milan, Vienna and Brussels. Self-taught, Tàpies has created his own style within the avant-garde art of the 20th century, combining tradition and innovation in an abstract style but full of symbolism, giving great importance to the material substratum of the work. It is worth mentioning the marked spiritual sense given by the artist to his work, where the material support transcends its state to signify a profound analysis of the human condition. Tàpies' work has been highly valued internationally, being exhibited in the most prestigious museums in the world. Throughout his career he has received numerous awards and distinctions, including the Praemium Imperiale of Japan, the National Culture Prize, the Grand Prize for Painting in France, the Wolf Foundation of the Arts (1981), the Gold Medal of the Generalitat de Catalunya (1983), the Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts (1990), the Picasso Medal of Unesco (1993) and the Velázquez Prize for the Plastic Arts (2003). Antoni Tàpies is represented in major museums around the world, such as the foundation that bears his name in Barcelona, the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Guggenheim in Berlin, Bilbao and New York, the Fukoka Art Museum in Japan, the MoMA in New York and the Tate Gallery in London.

CAMILO JOSÉ CELA (Iria Flavia, A Coruña, 1916 - Madrid, 2002). "Chronicle of the Cipote de Archidona", 1977. Illustrations by Lorenzo Goñi with 4 etchings. Copy 210/250. The etchings are signed and justified in pencil. It has a hessian binding. Printer: Gisa Ediciones, Madrid. Measurements: 36 x 27 x 2 cm (book). Camilo José Cela was a writer, novelist, journalist and member of the Royal Spanish Academy. He was born in the parish of Iria Flavia, in the province of La Coruña. In 1925 his family moved to Madrid and, years later, in 1934, he entered the Faculty of Medicine at the Complutense University. However, the Contemporary Literature classes taught by the poet Pedro Salinas, which he attended as a listener, provoked in him a change of direction towards his literary vocation. His first work was a book of poems entitled "Pisando la dudosa luz del día", published in the middle of the Civil War. In 1940 he resumed his literary work and two years later published his first novel, "La familia de Pascual Duarte". Since then, he wrote more than a dozen novels, as well as numerous short stories, fables, short novels and articles for newspapers and magazines. Among his novels are "La colmena" (1951), "El molino de viento" (1956), "San Camilo 1936" (1969), "Cristo versus Arizona" (1988) and "Madera de boj" (1999). Cela also cultivated poetry and published, among other titles, "El monasterio y las palabras" (1945), "Cancionero de la Alcarria" (1948), "Tres poemas gallegos" (1957) and "Reloj de arena, reloj de sol, reloj de sangre" (1989). He also wrote three plays: "María Sabina" (1967), "Homenaje a El Bosco I. El carro del heno o el inventor de la guitarra" (1969) and "Homenaje a El Bosco II. The extraction of the stone of madness or the invention of the garrote (1999)". Cela received notable distinctions throughout his career, such as the Prince of Asturias Award for Literature (1987), the Nobel Prize for Literature (1989) and the Miguel de Cervantes Award (1995).

MIGUEL MILÁ (Barcelona, 1931) for Tramo. Floor lamp TMC. 1958. Chromed metal. Delta de Oro ADI-FAD Award 1961. Measurements: 169 cm (height) x 29 x 40 cm; 30 cm (lampshade diameter). The TMC (Tramo Móvil Cromada) is undoubtedly the most iconic design of Miguel Milá's fruitful career. Its history began in 1956 with the design of a variable-height lamp for the interior design project of his aunt Nuria Sagnier's studio, and it has undergone numerous revisions and modifications over more than fifty years. The first definitive design to be marketed was in 1960, produced by the publishing company Tramo (Trabajos molestos), a company founded by Milá himself. The TMC is an ingenious floor lamp design that allows the height of the light to be chosen by means of a handle with seven anchor points, which acts both as a support for the circular white methacrylate shade and as a regulation system through the chromed shaft, the latter attached to a second structural half with four black-painted iron blades that form the base. An exercise of intelligent and balanced design that endows the TMC with simplicity and functional efficiency. When nobody in Spain knew what it meant to be a designer, despite the fact that, as we all know now, any object is designed (with or without a signature behind it), Miguel Milá was already a designer, that is, he tried to make everyday objects make our lives easier and happier, which are the basis of all innovation. To innovate is to set in motion an imaginative and productive chain: to imagine new forms and new uses and to make it possible, through craftsmanship and industry, to bring them to fruition, choosing the right materials and techniques. He did it from the beginning, that's why he is a master. Many of his pieces were born predestined to become iconic, such as the Cesta (1962), TMM and TMC (1961) lamps.
