This monumental exhibition (extended over 2500m2) retraces
a personal journey through his reflections on color phenomena,
but also situates the artist into a key period of art history from
the late 1940s to today.
The retrospective is a major event for art lovers eager to discover
or rediscover Carlos Cruz-Diez's international career. From rarely
seen figurative artworks to interactive series, architectural projects
and integration in public spaces, no aspect of what we know today
as an exceptional achievement on color will be left aside.
