Eduardo Chillida | On Paper

'Eduardo Chillida | On Paper' is an online exhibition dedicated to explore the work on paper of the artist. A well-known master of post-war sculpture, Chillida’s work as a draftsman and printmaker remains under-appreciated and not fully explored. This exhibition brings together more than 50 rarely seen works by the Spanish master dating from the late 1950s to the early 2000s. These works reveal Chillida as a radical inventor that used paper to explore the referential expression of his work, to reformulate the concept of collage, to expand the possibilities of printmaking, as well as to create unique tridimensional paper structures -his Gravitations.
Chillida’s oeuvre is a physical meditation on the qualities and limitations of space. While his sculptural work defines him as an artist of monumental scale -utilizing heavy materials such as iron, steel, concrete and alabaster- his works on paper offer an intimate look into the universe of the artist addressing concepts such as limits, emptiness, space and scale. Chillida’s prints and drawings have a parallel relationship to his sculptural work, but they stand out as autonomous creations from the outset. They are not preliminary studies for sculptures but independent investigations of space rendered into a two-dimensional plane.
The exhibition offers a wide array of Chillida's etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, drawings and collages. It is not only the first posthumous exhibition in the United States to focus exclusively on Chillida’s work on paper, but also the first one that uses a digital platform to showcase his art.
