ANTONI CLAVÉ IN CAPITAL LETTERS Exhibitions
09/05/2025 - 11/16/2025

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Antoni Clavé (Barcelona, 1913 – Saint-Tropez, 2005), one of the leading figures of 20th-century Catalan and Spanish art. To mark the occasion, Palau Martorell and the Reial Cercle Artístic, in collaboration with the Antoni Clavé Archives, pay tribute to him in his hometown, Barcelona.

Curated by Aude Hendgen, Head of the Antoni Clavé Archives, and José Félix Bentz, co-founder of Palau Martorell and president of the Reial Cercle Artístic, the exhibition “Antoni Clavé. In Capital Letters”highlights both the artist’s virtuosity and the importance of his work in the development of European modern art.

The exhibition offers the public a chance to rediscover Antoni Clavé’s work through the various stages of his life, in the cities where he lived or that he loved most: Barcelona, Paris, Tokyo and New York. Featuring over 80 works — some of them previously unseen — from public and private collections, the exhibition spans from his earliest pieces to his large institutional canvases, showcasing the versatility of an artist who excelled in painting, printmaking, sculpture, and theatre set.
