                JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955) "Rice", 1995. Bronze and canvas, copy 1/6. Signed and numbered.

                Est: €16,000 - €18,000

                JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955) "Rice", 1995. Bronze and canvas, copy 1/6. Signed and numbered. Measurements: 20 cm. diameter (bronze ball); 26 x 27 x 18 cm. (total). "Rice" is one of a series of works that Plensa made in 1995, in which he contrasted the rigidity of bronze with the ductility of materials such as fabric or rope. The titles of all of them contained gastronomic references: Milk, Beans, Noodles, Chop-suey, Hot-Dog, Rice, Roast-Beef, Eggs, Bread, Salt.... Carrying cryptic meanings, they can be linked to a certain degree with desire and the unconscious, while the combination of the bronze ball and the cloth that envelops it suggests the idea of explosion or muffled violence. Jaume Plensa studied at the Escuela de La Llotja and the Superior de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist. He currently lives in Paris, and was recently awarded an honorary doctorate by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Plensa began his career working with wrought iron mixed with polyester. Between 1983 and 1984 he began to mould iron using the casting technique, and developed a sculptural concept based on zoomorphic elements. His work gradually evolved, and he is now considered a precursor of Spanish neo-expressionism. In the nineties he introduced modifications in his work both in terms of material and form, and began to use different materials such as metal scraps, polyester and resins. During these years he produced series of walls, doors and architectural constructions, seeking to give space an absolute protagonist role. Between 1999 and 2003 Plensa became one of the pillars of world scenography, reinterpreting four classical operas by Falla, Debussy, Berlioz and Mozart with "La Fura dels Baus", and alone in a contemporary theatrical production, "La pareti della solitudine", by Ben Jelloun. He has held solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including a retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in 2000. In June 2008 he unveiled his work "Breathing", a memorial to journalists killed in the line of duty, at the BBC headquarters in London. Throughout his career he has received numerous distinctions, such as the Medal of the Knights of Arts and Letters in 1993, awarded by the French Ministry of Culture, and the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1997, awarded by the Generalitat of Catalonia. Considered one of the leading representatives of the new Spanish art of expressionist tendency, his work is present in the best national and international galleries and art fairs, as well as in the main museums of Europe and the United States, such as the MOMA in New York, the Kemper in Kansas, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Palazzo Forti in Verona, the MACBA and the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

                JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955). "Si-No II", 2003. Mixed media on paper. Signed and dated in the lower margin. Provenance: Richard Gray Gallery, Chicago. Measurements: 24 x 16 cm; 33,5 x 25,5 cm (frame). Around the year 2000, Jaume Plensa began a series of works on paper in which cut-out mouths and eyes seem to try to communicate in a contradictory language. Plensa's works usually revolve around communication, the body and language, and it is in this context that "Si-no II" from 2003 can also be understood. Plensa reflects on how we connect with the world through words, looks and emotions. Jaume Plensa studied at the Escuela de La Llotja and the Superior de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist.

Provenance: Ignacio de Lassaletta gallery, Barcelona; Manel Mayoral gallery, Barcelona; private collection, Spain. Measurements: 40 x 46 cm; 87 x 87 cm (frame). In his early works, Jaume Plensa developed a work on the threshold between the figurative and the abstract, in which he transmitted emotions through undulating strokes in which the referents (parts of a face or pieces of fruit) melted between the linear deliquescences. This painting belongs to that period of experimentation. It was an avant-garde but at the same time it stood out with a very marked personality. Jaume Plensa studied at the Escuela de La Llotja and at the Superior de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist.

This Artist's Book is a tribute to the poet Vicent Andrés Estellés. Deluxe edition. The book consists of one etching, twenty-three diptychs and six triptychs on handmade paper accompanied by six copper transparencies. The book is presented in a copper case designed by Jaume Plensa. Diptychs and triptychs: texts printed with metallic magnesium etching on 120 gr. handmade paper, made of cotton and eucalyptus fibers. Etching based on Jaume Plensa's drawing, on 300gr handmade paper by Molí Paperer de Ca l'Oliver, made of cotton and eucalyptus fibers. Jaume Plensa studied at the Escuela de La Llotja and the Superior de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist. He currently lives in Paris, and has recently been awarded an honorary doctorate degree by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Plensa began his career working with wrought iron mixed with polyester. Between 1983 and 1984 he began to mold iron with the casting technique, and developed a sculptural concept based on zoomorphic elements. His work evolved gradually, and he is now considered a precursor of Spanish neo-expressionism. In the nineties he introduced modifications in his work, both materially and formally, and began to use different materials such as scrap metal, polyester and resins. During these years he elaborated series of walls, doors and architectural constructions, seeking to give space an absolute protagonism. Between 1999 and 2003 Plensa became one of the pillars of world scenography, reinterpreting with "La Fura dels Baus" four classical operas by Falla, Debussy, Berlioz and Mozart, and alone a contemporary theatrical production, "La pareti della solitudine", by Ben Jelloun. He has had solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including a retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in 2000. In June 2008 he inaugurated in London, at the BBC headquarters, his work "Breathing", a monument dedicated to journalists killed in the exercise of their profession. Throughout his career he has received numerous distinctions, such as the Medal of the Knights of Arts and Letters in 1993, awarded by the French Ministry of Culture, or the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1997, from the Generalitat of Catalonia. Considered one of the leading representatives of the new Spanish art of expressionist tendency, his work is present in the best national and international galleries and art fairs, as well as in the main museums of Europe and the United States, such as the MOMA in New York, the Kemper in Kansas, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Palazzo Forti in Verona, the MACBA or the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

In the nineties, Jaume Plensa's creation gained momentum in the use of words, independently (and even floating in the void) or linked to a sculptural object. In addition to sculptural visual poems, he created series on napkins dedicated to gastronomy or eroticism. In this work, "My private sex" is written next to the schematic drawing of a vagina, resolved in an almost pictographic way. Plensa explores the relationship between calligraphy, identity, memory and the plastic potential of letters.

From the early stages of his career, Jaume Plensa showed an unconditional interest in delving with his plastic art into the human condition. Throughout the eighties, schematic representations of characters such as the one we are dealing with are frequent, described with very few strokes but capable of transmitting emotions and a certain idea of vulnerability. In these early works, Plensa drinks distantly from expressionist and cubist sources. However, Plensa already stood out with a very marked personality in portraits like this one, where in addition to the stroke, the support and its textures also contribute to awaken empathy and emotion in us.

Measurements: 58 x 41 cm; 66 x 50 cm (frame). "Freud's Children" was the title under whose umbrella Jaume Plensa placed several works (a sculpture and drawings) in which he alludes metaphorically and allegorically to the child psyche in relation to psychoanalysis, trauma, introspection and culture. Through bodily fragmentation and concepts that evoke the complexity and fragility of the human mind, Plensa explores in a subtle and not very evident way the nature of the subconscious and its relationship with the development of language.

                JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955). "Marvelous the conversation we don't have". Lithograph on zinc plate and polymer etching on Japanese Arakaji paper. Exemplary E.A. Signed and justified. Measurements: 77 x 50 cm. Jaume Plensa studied in the School of La Llotja and in the Superior of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist. He currently lives in Paris, and has recently been awarded an honorary doctorate degree by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Plensa began his career working with wrought iron mixed with polyester. Between 1983 and 1984 he began to mold iron with the casting technique, and developed a sculptural concept based on zoomorphic elements. His work evolved gradually, and he is now considered a precursor of Spanish neo-expressionism. In the nineties he introduced modifications in his work, both materially and formally, and began to use different materials such as scrap metal, polyester and resins. During these years he elaborated series of walls, doors and architectural constructions, seeking to give space an absolute protagonism. Between 1999 and 2003 Plensa became one of the pillars of world scenography, reinterpreting with "La Fura dels Baus" four classical operas by Falla, Debussy, Berlioz and Mozart, and alone a contemporary theatrical production, "La pareti della solitudine", by Ben Jelloun. He has had solo and group exhibitions all over the world, including a retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in 2000. In June 2008 he inaugurated in London, at the BBC headquarters, his work "Breathing", a monument dedicated to journalists killed in the exercise of their profession. Throughout his career he has received numerous distinctions, such as the Medal of the Knights of Arts and Letters in 1993, awarded by the French Ministry of Culture or the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1997, from the Generalitat of Catalonia. Considered one of the leading representatives of the new Spanish art of expressionist tendency, his work is present in the best national and international galleries and art fairs, as well as in the main museums of Europe and the United States, such as the MOMA in New York, the Kemper in Kansas, the Museo Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, the Palazzo Forti in Verona, the MACBA or the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

                Est: €18,000 - €20,000

                JAUME PLENSA (Barcelona, 1955). Untitled, 1984. Mixed media on panel. Signed and dated in the upper area. Measurements: 86 x 64 cm; 90,5 x 68 cm (frame). In this work Plensa uses materials linked to tradition and constructs with them an image close to expressionism, easily recognisable as human but nevertheless disrupted, incomplete and in a certain metamorphic way, captured in full transformation. The artist combines a firm, sure stroke, enhanced by the white that outlines the figure, with a material treatment of the paper, burning and perforating it to reach the third dimension, thus breaking with the traditional two-dimensional aspect of painting, in an aesthetic line inherited from Informalism - with its appreciation of textures, materials and chance - but, at the same time, completely new and personal. Jaume Plensa studied at the Escuela de La Llotja and the Superior de Bellas Artes de Sant Jordi, both in Barcelona. He excelled in sculpture, drawing and engraving. His work focuses on the relationship between man and his environment, often questioning the role of art in society and the position of the artist.

His work gradually evolved, and he is now considered a precursor of Spanish neo-expressionism. In the nineties he introduced modifications in his work in both material and formal terms, and began to use different materials such as metal scraps, polyester and resins. During these years he produced series of walls, doors and architectural constructions, seeking to give space an absolute protagonist role. Between 1999 and 2003 Plensa became one of the pillars of world scenography, reinterpreting four classical operas by Falla, Debussy, Berlioz and Mozart with "La Fura dels Baus", and alone in a contemporary theatrical production, "La pareti della solitudine", by Ben Jelloun.
