• The complete set in very good condition.
• In "Aromas", a lovely composed book, Eduardo Chillida combines his graphic prints with his very own reflections on art and life, adding quotes from, among others, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Octavio Paz, Rafael Alberti, Voltaire and Albert Einstein.
• The play with abstract forms, the reduction to black and the striking material properties make for the strong appeal of his paper works.
• His graphic works can be found in many international museums, among them the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Centre Pompidou, Paris, or the Museum Folkwang, Essen.
• In 2000 the artist received the Piepenbrock Sculpting Award and the monumental iron sculpture "Berlin" in front of the Federal Chancellery was unveiled
