Eduardo Chillida

EDUARDO CHILLIDA was born the 10th of January of 1924 in San Sebastian (Spain). His first exhibition was in Paris in 1950. In this year he marries Pilar Belzunce. He has received almost all the existing prices throughout his life: from the Biennial of Venice to the Kandinsky, from the Wilhem Lehmbruck to Prince de Asturias, from the German Kaiserring to the Imperial Price in Japan. His work is present in more than twenty museums worldwide, and retrospective exhibitions have been celebrated in Houston and Berlin, Madrid and Caracas, London and Palermo. His sculptures are in front of the sea like in San Sebastián, or in the mountain like in Japan, and in cities like Washington, Paris, Lund, Munster, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Guernica or Berlin. About his work have written architects, mathematicians, philosophers like Martín Heideggeer and Emile Cioran, or poets like Octavio Paz.
