THE WORK
Space dedicated to one of the great sculptural works of the artist Josep Guinovart.
This magical and stunning area, which is sometimes used as a hall for temporary exhibitions, is dedicated to one of the great works of sculpture by the artist Josep Guinovart (1927-2007), one of the maximum exponents of the informalist school.
This is the work named Contorn-Entorn, which was presented in the Maeght Gallery in Barcelona in 1976, was later moved to Barcelona Modern Art Museum and came to Poble Espanyol in the early twenty-first century, where it found its ideal location to be exhibited.
Josep Guinovart
"In his work, Josep Guinovart achieves one of the main aspirations of contemporary art: that of re-integrating art into reality".
Josep Guinovart (1927-2007) left his mark in many fields beyond the purely pictorial: in the world of theatre, architecture, tapestry, sculpture, illustrations, and many others.
His father's family was from Tarragona and his mother's from Agramuntina. This geographical duality is constantly reflected in the artist's work: the infinite blues of the Mediterranean and the warm ochres of Urgell.
He has left a very important legacy of works that can be seen in museums and art centres all over the world.
