The selection brings together important monographs, exhibition catalogs, and specialized publications that trace the different stages of his career, from his explorations of materials to his mature compositions. Of particular note are the catalog of the retrospective held at the Reina Sofía Museum in 2000 and the monograph by Andreas Franzke, both of which are key references for the study of his body of work. A founding member of the Dau al Set group, Tàpies developed a unique artistic language based on material, gesture, and the symbolic dimension of signs. A recipient of the Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts (1990) and the Velázquez Prize (2003), his work is represented in institutions such as MoMA in New York, the Centre Pompidou in Paris, and the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid.
