What you’ll see

Grab your chance to explore a great artist's collection, but also to enjoy temporary exhibitions by other artists. Get to see the exhibitions by the main artists, 'Certezas Sentidas' and 'Teatro', and also a sample of Ariella's work. In addition to being an artwork, the building that houses Fundacion is also a modernist building, modernist in style and industrial style, designed by renowned modernist architect Llus Domenech I Montaner. Tàpies' main work was inspired by artists such as Paul Klee and Joan Miro at the beginning. Soon, he became fascinated with the expressive nature of solid materials, an interest which led to cloth with intense texture and great communicative potential. Creating plastic and diverse artworks that are admired around the world led to the iconic language from Tàpies.
