ANTONI TÀPIES (Barcelona, 1923–2012). “Corps,” 1981. Print on paper, edition 65/75. Signed in pencil in the lower right corner. Numbered in the lower left corner. Dimensions: 28 x 38.5 cm (paper); 13 x 18.5 cm (print). Created in 1981, this work belongs to Antoni Tàpies’s mature period, when his informalist style had achieved a remarkable expressive refinement. The composition combines a dense black patch with a grainy texture, gestural strokes, and spontaneous graphic elements, establishing a dialogue between matter, sign, and void. The intensity of the black and the treatment of the surfaces reflect his interest in the imprint and the symbolic dimension of materials. A key figure in postwar Spanish art and initially associated with the Dau al Set group, Tàpies developed a personal artistic language that earned him widespread international recognition. His career was honored with numerous awards, including the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts (1990) and the Velázquez Prize for the Visual Arts (2003). His work is represented in institutions such as MoMA in New York, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, and the Tàpies Museum in Barcelona.
