A self-taught artist between the wars, Antoni Tàpies (1923-2012) reflected on the human condition, his own historical context and artistic practice, in particular the limits and contradictions of painting. His prolific oeuvre is scattered throughout the world.

This catalogue, the first Tàpies retrospective to be held in Belgium, presents a comprehensive overview of the artist's work through 122 works. It brings together his early drawings and self-portraits, his "material paintings" from the 1950s, his objects and assemblages from the 1960s and 1970s, his varnishes from the 1980s and his works from the 1990s, during which Tàpies pursued the formal and material experimentation that has always been at the heart of his practice.
