Bernardí Roig, one of the most prominent names in Spanish contemporary art, makes sculptures, installations, videos, and drawings that use the human figure as their conceptual center, and in doing so creates a dynamism between traditional sculpture and the artist’s own conceptual minimalism. In conjunction with the 53rd Venice Biennale, Ca’ Pesaro, the International Gallery of Modern Art, held a midcareer exhibition for Roig, which juxtaposed a body of fifteen years of the artist’s work with the museum’s permanent collection. His work is included in the collections of the La Caixa Foundation in Barcelona, the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation in Mallorca, the Ludwig Foundation of Cuba, and many other institutions worldwide. His 2014 exhibition at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., will mark the artist’s first major museum exhibition in the United States.
