SUBIRACHS - metaphysical stage
Josep M. Subirachs (Barcelona, 1927-2014) was a sculptor with a long and prolific career. Public and monumental pieces —his true calling— are what earned him his public recognition and consolidated his great prestige. Among his many monumental works, the group of sculptures decorating the Passion Façade of the Sagrada Familia is especially noteworthy for its international renown. His numerous and varied works also include drawings, paintings, prints, lithographs, posters, tapestries, scenography and designs for jewelry and medals.
Subirachs’ work is defined by formal scrupulousness, his mastery of technique and the juxtaposition of materials and models. His unmistakable personal iconographic universe, with its rich cultural background of symbolic references and plastic and conceptual resources, is the defining essence that sets apart the work of one of the most representative figures of late 20th-century Spanish art. Espai Subirachs, in Barcelona Poblenou district, shows a permanent exhibition of his artistic legacy. www.subirachs.cat
