CAC Málaga Exhibition - ROBERT MOTHERWELL’S COLLAGES

CAC MÁLAGA PRESENTS, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SPAIN,ROBERT MOTHERWELL’S COLLAGES

The Centro de Arte Contemporáneo of Málaga is proud to present the exhibition Collages, featuring the work of Robert Motherwell. Curated by the CAC Málaga curatorial team, the show comprises 26 works made between 1960 and 1989. The exhibition consists entirely of works on paper that explore the evolution of collage during Motherwell’s lifetime, illustrating his diverse approaches to the use of this technique.
His work is characterised by his intuitive tearing methods, similar to the brushstrokes of an Abstract Expressionist. Motherwell’s collages are marked by the coexistence of different media and techniques, combining package labels, torn paper, cardboard and even a reused envelope with abstract forms.

Robert Motherwell (Aberdeen, Washington, 1915–Provincetown, Massachusetts, 1991) graduated from Stanford University in 1937 and later enrolled at Harvard University to pursue a post-graduate degree in Philosophy. Motherwell also briefly attended Columbia University in 1940.

His work has been shown individually and collectively at many international institutions, including Galerie Raymond Duncan (Paris), Peggy Guggenheim’s gallery The Art of This Century (New York), the Arts Club of Chicago, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Musée d’Art Moderne (Paris), the Royal Academy of Arts (London), the National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC) and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, New York).
