Past exhibition
Overview
Aurèlia Muñoz (Barcelona, 1926-2011) is one of the most important textile artists of the 20th century. Starting from the 1960s, the movements known as La Nouvelle Tapisserie and Fiber Sculptures, in which Aurèlia Muñoz actively participated, aimed to go beyond the traditional concept of tapestry as a decorative object for houses and palaces, to permit it to exist as a work of art in its own right, in which the texture, the volume and the three-dimensional space are essential. They thus transformed tapestries into avant-garde textile art for everyone.
Aurèlia Muñoz's online exhibition was made in collaboration with the Estate of the Artist.
