Known as one of the major artists on the contemporary art scene, Manolo Valdés has been exploring for almost 60 years the great classics of History of Art, inscribing his œuvre in the path of great masters that preceded him.

Internationally acclaimed both as a painter and as a sculptor, Valdés is a pioneering and adventurous explorer of image, form, and materials, instantly recognizable with his unique and innovative style. Fascinated by matter and its properties, the artist gives it life in an unparalleled way. Aluminum, bronze, resin, stainless-steel, burlap, wood, oil, mirror, alabaster... all these materials gather to reveal the classical theme of the female portrait under a new light.

The exhibition in New York will present a selection of the newest works coming directly from the artist's studio.
