The exhibition Image, Body, Pathos shows paintings from more than seven decades of the impressive creative oeuvre of Catalan artist Antoni Tàpies . Tàpies, born in Barcelona in 1923, had a distinct influence on European painting in the second half of the 20th century. The exhibition gives visitors an up-to-date view of the artist’s astounding, lifelong productivity. The exhibition has been developed in close cooperation with the artist and the Fundació Antoni Tàpies in Barcelona. Before it came to Reykjavik the exhibition was presented in Siegen, Germany. A catalogue in German and English accompanies the exhibition, published by Snoeck Verlag Cologne and featuring all of the exhibited works as well as essays by distinguished scholars.
The exhibition is sponsored by The Honorary Consul of Spain in Iceland and The Embassy of Spain in Norway.
