About the Artist: Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) was a Spanish sculptor from San Sebastián, in the Basque region of Spain. He began his career in 1943 studying architecture at the University of Madrid, but in 1947 he turned to drawing and sculpture and by 1948 had moved to Paris, then the world capital of the arts. Although he abandoned his studies, his oeuvre betrays his architectural training, displaying an underlying sense of structural organization as well as discipline in materials, planning of spatial relationships, and scaling of elements. (Guggenheim) Though primarily known for his sculptures, Chillida worked in several mediums, and also made drawings, paintings, and lithographs.
The poster has some small spots of discoloration on the upper right corner but is in otherwise very good condition and ready to frame !
