The catalog "Chillida. Mística y materia" centers on the profound artistic research of Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002), a pivotal figure in Spanish and international art during the latter half of the 20th century. Chillida's work consistently delved into themes traditionally linked to metaphysics, such as the nature of matter, the perception of space, and the passage of time. Central to his artistic investigation was a deep engagement with the spiritual and the mystical, a means to articulate concepts that lie beyond direct expression. This exhibition, part of the centenary celebrations of the artist's birth, highlights fundamental aspects of his thought and oeuvre, including the ontology of matter, the concept of inner space, levitation, and the resonance of mystical poetry within his artistic practice. The exhibition itself is presented at the Museo Nacional de Escultura from May 29 to September 14, 2025. The catalog is published in a bilingual Spanish-English edition, featuring 216 pages and measuring 23 cm by 26 cm, with a publication date of June 4, 2025.
