In 1928 Picasso, then inexperienced in ironwork, asked his friend Julio González to help him with a project for a memorial to the poet Guillaume Apollinaire. The two then tackled the creation of a dematerialized sculpture project, "a profound statue of nothing, like poetry, like glory". This collaboration has traditionally been studied as the origin of a new type of sculpture, in iron, which dominated the art scene in the central decades of the 20th century.
This exhibition goes beyond that acknowledged consideration to delve into the general context in which metal sculpture of the 1920s developed. It aims to show, moreover, that the artistic affinities and common concerns of both creators were not limited to that brief period, but began in the modernist Barcelona of the early twentieth century, extended during their years in Paris and until Gonzalez's death in 1942.
