Sotheby's Auction Features Important Example of Miquel Barceló's Bullfighting ...

LONDON.- The Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Auction taking place on 28th June 2011, will feature an exceptional range of works dating from the early Post-War period to the present day.

Swirling with a dizzying, centrifugal energy across its expansive surface and beholden of the thick sculpted painterly surface which creates it, Faena de muleta is by far the largest and most important example of Miquel Barceló's most celebrated series of bullfighting paintings ever to come to auction. Accentuating the heart of the sandy arena is the sanguine red of the matador's unfurled muleta or cape as he prepares to enter the final stages of his act and kill the bull. The beast is poised to charge, whipped up into a passion by the torero's provocative footwork, the flourishes of his cape, and the all-encompassing feverish crowd that spins around it. Barceló leaves the conclusion suspended, an equivocating and gory intrigue cast into the minds of his enraptured viewers. This heightened tension and energetic atmosphere of the corrida is channelled through the artist's practice. With his use of yellow ochre and ferrous tones, Faena de muleta evokes the smouldering heat of the Mediterranean sun beating down on the stadium, torero and frenzied bull. The concentric rings of the arena have an extraordinary sculptural and textured quality, recalling the tradition of Catalan artists Antoni Tàpies and Joan Miró. The relief of the painting escalates from the dusty floor of the bullfight, to the upper echelons of the seated crowd, ascending in height with an abundance of richly impastoed paint and mixed media on canvas. For Barceló, the bullfight is analogous with his experience of painting, 'the torero always talks of distance, of space, but these are invisible spaces, a sort of phantom geometry, and this is very close to painting with this idea of perspective... But the most important thing is what happens on the sand. In a bullfight, you can read what happened in the sand; it's a beautiful metaphor of painting because my paintings are like traces of what has happened there, all that happens in the head, in fact. The picture object is a bit like the sand of the arena, a sort of detritus of what took place there' (Miquel Barceló quoted in P. Subiros (ed.), Miquel Barceló: Mapamundi, exh. cat., Fondation Maeght, Saint-Paul 2002, p. 98).
