ANDREU ALFARO HERNÁNDEZ (La Huerta, Valencia, 1929 - 2012). "Femme a la toilette", 1985. Painted iron, copy 1/6. Signed with monogram on the base and justified. Work referenced in "Alfaro. El cos humà. 1984-1985". Gaspar Room. Work published in the catalog raisonné "Andreu Alfaro. 57-89", page 525. Measurements: 88 x 39 x 27 cm. Sculptor related to the Parpalló Group (1957), and influenced by Jorge Oteiza and the constructivists, like Brancusi or Pevsner, from his first important works Andreu Alfaro manifested his concern to integrate the sculpture in a defined architectural space. In 1961, with "La Rella", he began a second stage in which he concretized the link between artistic activity and the social community. During these years he acquired international renown through his participation in the 1966 Venice Biennale. During the last years of the sixties Alfaro entered a new stage, in which he experimented with metallic elements, creating works of kinetic character or spatial research. It was also during these years that he began to show a special interest in large sculptures, which he exhibited in the Cervantes Park in Barcelona (1977). This period also marks the beginning of his international projection and, undoubtedly, the moment of maturity of one of the most important Catalan sculptors. However, around 1980 he sought to recover an almost calligraphic stylization in his works, which led him to experiment with wire. In 1983 Alfaro made a sculpture in homage to the painter E. Sempere in Madrid. During this period he also made other outdoor sculptures in Frankfurt (1986), Madrid (1990) and Barcelona (1991). In 1996 he installed in Tarrasa a sculpture dedicated to the working woman, in 1999 he erected the "Columnes de l'Autònoma" in the university of Barcelona, and in 2001 he made a monument in memory of the victims of Nazism in Vilanova i la Geltrú. On the occasion of the Verdaguer year, in 2002 a monumental commemorative sculpture of the Catalan poet was inaugurated in the city of Vic, and in 2003 he created the sculpture "Ones" at the entrance to Barcelona. Throughout his career, Alfaro has received numerous awards, including the Jaume I Honor Award (1980), the National Plastic Arts Award (1981) and the Alfons Roig Plastic Arts Award of the Diputación de Valencia (1991). He is currently represented at the Reina Sofía Museum and the Conde Duque Center in Madrid, the IVAM and the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, among others. Work referenced in "Alfaro. El cos humà. 1984-1985". Gaspar Hall. Work published in the catalog raisonné "Andreu Alfaro. 57-89", page 525.

ANDREU ALFARO HERNÁNDEZ, (La Huerta, Valencia, 1929 - 2012). "Calatá Power (B)" 1967. Sculpture in stainless steel polychrome red, copy 87/500. Signed and numbered on the base. Referenced in the catalog raisonné, page 219. Measurements: 38 x 10.5 x 10.5 cm. Sculptor related to the Parpalló Group (1957), and influenced by Jorge Oteiza and the constructivists, like Brancusi or Pevsner, from his first works of importance Andreu Alfaro manifested his preoccupation to integrate the sculpture in a defined architectural space. In 1961, with "La Rella", he began a second stage in which he concretized the link between artistic activity and the social community, followed by "La veu d'un poble" (1964-65) and "Monument a l'amor" (1965-66). During these years he acquired international renown through his participation in the 1966 Venice Biennale, where he showed "My black brother". During the last years of the sixties Alfaro entered a new stage, in which he experimented with metallic elements, creating works of kinetic character or spatial research. From this period are well known samples "Bon dia llibertat" (1975) and "Catalan power" (1976). Also during these years he began to show a special interest in large sculptures, which he exhibited in the Cervantes Park in Barcelona (1977). He also designed several monuments such as the "Monument als Països Catalans" in Tárrega (1981). This period also marks the beginning of his international projection and, undoubtedly, the moment of maturity of one of the most important Catalan sculptors. However, around 1980 he sought to recover an almost calligraphic stylization in his works, which led him to experiment with wire. At the same time, he begins to incorporate marble into his production, which can be defined as a fair combination of lucid elements and constructive purism. The geometric structure of his works, always changing according to the observer's point of view, is always endowed with a great plastic force. In 1983 Alfaro made a sculpture in homage to the painter E. Sempere in Madrid. During this period he also created other outdoor sculptures in Frankfurt (1986), Madrid (1990) and Barcelona (1991). In 1996 he installed in Tarrasa a sculpture dedicated to the working woman, in 1999 he erected the "Columnes de l'Autònoma" in the university of Barcelona, and in 2001 he made a monument in memory of the victims of Nazism in Vilanova i la Geltrú. On the occasion of the Verdaguer year, in 2002 a monumental commemorative sculpture of the Catalan poet was inaugurated in the city of Vic, and in 2003 he created the sculpture "Ones" at the entrance to Barcelona. Throughout his career, Alfaro has held solo exhibitions in Spain as well as in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands, and has taken part in important group exhibitions around the world. He has also received numerous awards, including the Jaume I Honor Award (1980), the National Plastic Arts Award (1981) and the Alfons Roig Plastic Arts Award from the Diputación de Valencia (1991). He is currently represented at the Reina Sofía Museum and the Conde Duque Center in Madrid, the IVAM and the Patio Herreriano in Valladolid, among others. Referenced in the catalog raisonné, p. 219.

ANDREU ALFARO HERNÁNDEZ (La Huerta, Valencia, 1929). "Composición Móduls 8", 2002. White Carrara marble. Work exhibited in; Andreu Alfaro. Metta Gallery, Madrid 2002 Work reproduced in the Catalogue Raisonné of the Arista, p. 253. Signed with anagram and dated. Measurements: 66 x 54 x 33 cm. Without abandoning his constructivist language, during the 2000s, Alfaro, found some inspiration in the classical world, which as can be seen in this piece is translated in the material and in the containment of pure and straight lines that form a symmetrical whole. In the words of the artist, "I find myself again full of doubts in the middle of an unknown path, not knowing where it will lead me, but with the desire and anxiety to continue, to try to get somewhere, to understand what is not known. Perhaps the man of our days is no longer sure of his protagonism and, in spite of his technological progress, he is not so convinced of being the measure and norm of all things. The great manipulator of nature, in his perplexity, alone and without an answer, perhaps needs to turn his gaze back to lean on that lost totality". From his earliest works Andreu Alfaro manifested his concern for integrating sculpture into the architectural space. In 1961, with "La Rella", he began a second stage in which he concretized the link between artistic activity and the social community, to which correspond "La veu d'un poble" (1964-65) and "Monument a l'amor" (1965-66). During these years he acquired international renown through his participation in the 1966 Venice Biennale, where he showed "My black brother".
