TheMuseu Tàpies,[1] formerly"Fundació Antoni Tàpies"[2] (Catalan pronunciation:[fundəsiˈoənˈtɔniˈtapiəs], 'Antoni Tàpies Foundation') is a cultural center and museum, located inCarrer d'Aragó, inBarcelona,Catalonia. It is dedicated mainly to the life and works of the painterAntoni Tàpies.[3]
The Fundació was created in 1984 by the artistAntoni Tàpies to promote the study and knowledge of modern and contemporary art. It combines the organisation of temporary exhibitions, symposia, lectures and film seasons with a range of publications to go with the activities and periodic shows of Tàpies' work.
The Fundació owns one of the most complete collections of Tàpies' work, mostly made up of donations by Antoni and Teresa Tàpies.
The Fundació opened in June 1990[4] in the building of the formerMontaner i Simon publishing house, a work of the architectLluís Domènech i Montaner, restored and refurbished by the architects Roser Amadó and Lluís Domènech Girbau. Constructed between 1880 and 1885, at an early stage of the evolution of CatalanModernisme style, the building was the first in theEixample district to integrate industrial typology, combining exposed brick and iron.
