Artist Spotlight: Eduardo Chillida

Born in 1924 in San Sebastian, Spain, Chillida is best known for his iron and granite sculptures, as well as an expansive body of etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts. The artist worked within abstraction, linking shapes and forms that played with concepts of light, landscape, and space.

Chillida was known to have had an intimate relationship with his artworks, playing a hands-on role in the production with a team of blacksmiths and other artisans.
