Antoni Tàpies: New Paintings

“For Tàpies, the elasticity of symbols is one of his greatest resources and adds immeasurably to his sense of creating magic.” — Dore Ashton 

Antoni Tàpies: New Paintings collects 17 works made with mixed media and exhibited at Pace Gallery in New York in 2006. An essay by Dore Ashton explores the artist’s influences—from the iconography of tantric paintings and Christian images to alphabets and daily newspapers—that have contributed to his pictorial approach to thinking and creating.
