Josep Agut: "Way to America" (1985)
Author: Josep Agut (Terrassa-1961). Title: Way to America. Description: drawing on paper made in 1985 by the artist from Egar, Josep Agut. Measures with frame 103x75 cm. Certificate of authenticity is attached. Artwork in good condition. Pep Agut studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi at the University of Barcelona (1979-84). He began his career as a painter, a condition that he has not renounced, despite the absorption into conceptualism and minimalism of the 1960s that his Artwork has had. In the 1980s, he focused on a self-reflexive abstract painting, taking up the materialist approaches of the Support-Surface and incorporating elements of photo-collage. Agut advances in the development of its projects towards large facilities. Subsequently, he returns to photography with superimposition of texts and reflective surfaces, which refer us to conceptual Artworks by Dan Graham and Michelangelo Pistoletto. His artistic facet is combined with participation in debates, seminars and conferences, both of which have allowed him to be known nationally and internationally.
