Serra/Seurat. Drawings 06.09.2022 - 09.06.2022 French artist Georges Seurat (b. 1859; d. 1891), the pioneer of the Pointillist pictorial movement, took drawing to new heights that ensured him a place among the great masters of the technique. It was not only his contemporaries who admired his works on paper. They have also been venerated by later artists, like American Richard Serra (b. 1938), who considers drawing an autonomous language which he subjects to new processes, experimenting with it in different formats and materials. This exhibition presents works produced by both artists in the medium, evidencing their enormous artistic value. Curators: Lucía Agirre, curator, Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, and Judith Benhamou, independent curator and art writer.
