"Julio González/ David Smith," IVAM (Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno), Centro Julio González, Valencia, Spain, January 20-May 1, 2011
By creating a dialogue between the works of these two great "masters of the torch," this exhibition of over 75 works explores González's and Smith's shared interest in the formal and expressive interplay between material and process, abstraction and figuration, and the poetic qualities of positive and negative space.
A fully-illustrated, multi-author catalogue in English, Spanish and Valencian will be published in conjunction with the exhibition. |

Over 50 sculptures will be presented, along with drawings, paintings, and vintage photographs by the artist. A fully-illustrated, scholarly catalogue will be published. |
