Antoni Tàpies would have been delighted to welcome the Catalan-born Mexican artist Marta Palau (Albesa, 1934 - Mexico City, 2020) to his museum. She welcomed Tàpies into her studio during one of the artist's trips to Mexico, and the Tàpies Museum Palau presents her first major international posthumous retrospective from this Thursday until August 17. Both artists have in common the spiritual, magical and social character that they gave to art, as well as their interest in pre-Hispanic cultures and ancestral knowledge. In the field of art, Tàpies and Palau shared recurring interests, such as matter, the body and nature.
