Chillida exhibition Girona

Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) is one of Spain's foremost artists and expressed himself in many materials including stone, clay, metal, paper, collages and earth sculptures.
The exhibition currently at the Fontana D'Or in Girona until April 25th combines many of these mediums in the artists life long exploration of matter, both physical and conceptual.
His sculptures are famous for avoiding symmetry and offering several perspectives no matter what material he is using. 
His works are found all over the world in both museums and parks but the largest collections are in his native Basque country.
Be sure to see this important exhibition, it is fascinating on many levels and a real coup for Girona.
