CONTEMPORARY ART - ARTISTS

The collection



The collection is the point of convergence where the plural vision of the collector Antoni Vila Casas meets contemporary art. It is a map of movements and decisions to accept particular works that embrace different ideologies and creative languages. Encompassing the period between the 1960’s and the present, with a few previous exceptions, a number of currents of pictorial and sculptural creation in Catalonia are displayed. Only the photography collection is within an international framework.

DISCIPLINE:  
Rosa Amorós
Barcelona, 1945







Margarita Andreu
Cercs, Barcelona, 1953 - Barcelona, 2013

Her work is a constant reflection on the connections existing between light and space, emptiness and fullness, colour and transparency.  Although Margarita Andreu’s assemblages recreate a 3D architectural dimension, the incorporation of photography into her work should be understood as a continuation of the conception and construction of the poetics of the vacuum arising from notions of ambiguity, transience and partialness.




Anglada
Barcelona, 1944 - Horta de San Joan, Tarragona, 2015

When he was seventeen, he won the “A la pintura Jove” prize from the Sala Parés and soon afterwards he received a grant from the Cercle Maillol at the Institut Français de Barcelona which allowed him to study art in Paris. Informalism and the austere Terra Alta countryside of Horta de Sant Joan inspired him to create grey, dark and fantastical landscapes which occasionally featured organic forms or humans. His painting caught the eye of critics such Alexandre Cirici, Xavier Rubert de Ventós and Maria Lluïsa Borràs, for whom he is a reference for the veneration of aggressivity and eroticism along with an influence from Francis Bacon. He enjoyed much success in the sixties and held many exhibitions in Barcelona, Paris, Lyon and Germany.
