Fundació Antoni Tàpies

The Antoni Tàpies Foundation is a museum dedicated to contemporary and modern art, located in the centre of Barcelona, in the Eixample district. The building that houses the museum was designed by the modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner and is an impressive example of the city's modern architecture. It was created by the Catalan artist Antoni Tàpies in 1984 with the aim of promoting contemporary art and providing a space to exhibit his own work.

The museum's permanent collection features a wide variety of Tàpies' works, including paintings, sculptures and prints, which are characterised by his innovative use of materials such as plaster, earth and paper, and by his abstract and symbolic style. Many of his works explore themes such as identity, politics and religion, and offer a profound reflection on the human experience.

In addition to the artist's permanent collection, the foundation also hosts temporary exhibitions exploring contemporary and modern art by local and international artists. These exhibitions offer a wide variety of works, from paintings to installations and performances, and provide an opportunity to discover new and exciting trends in the art world.

In addition to its function as a museum, The Antoni Tàpies Foundation also has a library and archive with a wide variety of material related to contemporary and modern art. Visitors can access these resources and deepen their knowledge of culture, art and its history.
