Antoni T\u00e0pies gained worldwide fame in the 1950s for his “matter” paintings: <\/span>relief-like works composed of dry pigments, sand and marble dust, and paint, which he scrapes, incises, and pierces. T\u00e0pies helped co-found the first Post-War Movement in Spain known as Dau-al-Set which was connected to the Surrealist and Dadaist Movements. T\u00e0pies early works were influenced by Paul Klee and Joan Mir\u00f3; but statrted working in a style known as “Arte Povera”, in which non artistic materials are incorporated into the paintings such as clay, dust, paper, and string. Fundaci\u00f3 Antoni T\u00e0pies<\/em>, a museum dedicated to the artist\u2019s work, that he founded in Barcelona in 1984, has gone on to become one of that city\u2019s most vital cultural institutions. In 2010, he was given the title of Marquess de T\u00e0pies in the Spanish nobility. That same year, Fundaci\u00f3 Antoni T\u00e0pies reopened after a huge remodeling. In New York, Mr. T\u00e0pies had one-person shows at Dia:Beacon in 2009 and at the Museum of Modern Art in 1992. Antoni T\u00e0pies, the painter from Catalan who straddled both modernist and postmodernist aesthetics, has died this week according to Pace, the artist\u2019s gallery in New York. He was 88.<\/p>\n
