tribute to antoni tàpies

antoni tàpies i puig, one of the greatest spanish artist of the XXth century died last monday (barcelona 12/12/1923 - barcelona 06/02/2012).
so yesterday, I sketched one of his installation in the public space as a tribute. I can't tell how much his work influence me, and since I live in barcelona, even more…

this sculpture titled "barcelona a picasso 1983" was an order of the city to tàpies at the death of picasso. while I was sketching it, a journalist of the spanish newspaper "la vanguardia" came to me, and ask me a few questions: what I was doing here? what represent tàpies to me?… and my biggest surprise was to read my answers in the newspaper this morning…
today, I went to the "fundació antoni tàpies, and join the crowd to pay one last homage to the artist.
