Mikel Chillida introduces ‘Eduardo Chillida’ at Hauser & Wirth Somerset

Mikel Chillida, the artist’s grandson, leads us through the Threshing Barn, Pigsty and Workshop galleries, where we encounter seminal works in plaster, wood, steel, iron, granite, Chamotte clay and paper, dating from 1948 to 2000.

Demonstrating the breadth of Eduardo Chillida’s (1924 – 2002) artistic materials, the exhibition highlights his ongoing relationship to architecture and spirituality, figure and space, music and philosophy. The Threshing Barn features one of the earliest plaster works made by Chillida, ‘Yacente (Recumbent)’ (1949) and a further work, ‘Forma (Form)’ (1948) in bronze.
