THE PATHS OF ABSTRACTION, 1957-1978

Dialogues with the Museo de Arte Abstracto Español in Cuenca

A great sample of national and international abstract artists, like Rothko, Dubuffet, de Kooning and Pollock.

The exhibition presents more than 70 works that reflect the various forms that abstraction took during the second half of the 20th century, such as informalism and abstract expressionism, lyrical and gestural abstraction, geometric abstraction, kinetic art or color field painting.

Spanish artists such as Eduardo Chillida, Manolo Millares, Antoni Tàpies, Rafael Canogar, Pablo Palazuelo and José Guerrero enter into a dialogue with some of the greatest representatives of international abstraction such as Mark Rothko, Alberto Burri, Willem de Kooning, Hans Hartung, Jean Dubuffet, Helen Frankenthaler or Jackson Pollock.

Exhibition organized by Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation and Fundación Juan March.

Curated by: Manuel Fontán del Junco, Sergi Plans and Marga Viza
