Eduardo Chillida - Gravitation
A survey of Chillida’s creative process with special attention paid to his works on paper
This publication examines the oeuvre of Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida (1924–2002) on the basis of 89 works shown in the Kunsthalle Krems. Chillida’s works on paper, including his hanging pieces known as “gravitations,” offer a delicate contrast to his better-known monumental steel works.
The catalog examines the oeuvre of Eduardo Chillida on the basis of 89 works, tracing his artistic development and describing his artistic language. In addition to his sculptures and some public works, focus is primarily laid on the artist's hanging paper works- the "Gravitations". The Basque artist, born in San Sebastián, is considered to be a master of abstract sculpture and is one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. He became known as creator of monumental sculpture in public spaces. His steel works, weighing several tons, dominate public spaces, landscapes and parks.
