Fundació Antoni Tà pies
The Fundació Antoni Tà pies (Catalan pronunciation: [fundəsiˈo ənˈtɔni ˈtapiəs], 'Antoni Tà pies Foundation') is a cultural center and museum, located in Carrer d'Aragó, in Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain), dedicated mainly to the life and works of the painter Antoni Tà pies.
The Fundació was created in 1984 by the artist Antoni Tà pies to promote the study and knowledge of modern and contemporary art. It combines the organisation of temporary exhibitions, symposia, lectures and film seasons with a range of publications to go with the activities and periodic shows of Antoni Tà pies’ work. The Fundació owns one of the most complete collections of Tà pies’ work, mostly made up of donations by Antoni and Teresa Tà pies.
The Fundació opened its doors in June 1990 in the building of the former Montaner i Simon publishing house, a work of the architect LluÃs Domènech i Montaner, restored and refurbished by the architects Roser Amadó and LluÃs Domènech Girbau. Constructed between 1880 and 1885, at an early stage of the evolution of Catalan Modernisme style, the building was the first in the Eixample district to integrate industrial typology, combining exposed brick and iron.
