Chillida-Ortega Muñoz

The Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao celebrates the centenary of the birth of Eduardo Chillida twice. Firstly, the museum temporarily loaned Meeting Place IV (1973), one of the most iconic sculptures in its collection, which can be enjoyed in Chillida Leku until the completion of the expansion designed by Foster and Uriarte.

Secondly, during the summer of 2024, the museum will host an exhibition in which the historian Javier González de Durana will propose suggestive formal analogies between Chillida and Godofredo Ortega Muñoz, remembering that the painter's first individual exhibition took place in the museum in 1957 and that, a year later, Chillida received the International Grand Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale.
