Since the 20th of August an exhibition in Cologne has been displaying an extensive selection of graphic work by the Spanish artist Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002), with about a hundred pieces that run through the last forty years of his output. The Boisserée gallery is displaying a wide-ranging collection of graphic work by Chillida, one of the most international contemporary Spanish artists, who was able to transfer the expressive power of his sculptural activity to a two-dimensional medium.

 
Altogether about a hundred graphic works are on display including etchings, xylographs, lithographs, engravings and the ones he called "gravitations", which are drawings that acquire a third dimension on paper.
An etching from 1968 from the Inguru series and the five etchings he produced a year later in the Beltza series stand out.

Sixteen pieces from the Más allá (Beyond) series, which date from 1973, and the series of nine aquatints for the poems by the Catalan author Joan Brossa included in A Peu pel Llibre, from 1994, are also remarkable because of their outstanding plastic quality.
