Manolo Valdés - The timelessness of art

Manolo Valdés is one of the great plastic artists who emerged in Spain during the second half of the last century. His work "already part of select collections and prestigious museums" makes up an inexhaustible and unlimited world, where the most diverse techniques, the rarest materials and the most found trends converge. Valdés' work represents, without a doubt, timelessness in art: that rare ability that some works have to be current at any time because they always refer us to the enduring, the transcendent, both in form and content. Painter, sculptor, builder of unclassifiable objects, the unstoppable but coherent trajectory of Manolo Valdés does not stop because the artist fails to anchor himself in the comforts of convention. This formidable book, which cannot be missing from any art lover's library, is the first dedicated entirely to his work. It follows the artist's explorations, along with several critical reflections on his work and an initial study by Tomás Llorens.
