GERARDO RUEDA SALABERRY (Madrid, 1926 - 1996).Untitled.Silkscreen on paper, copy 83/85.Signed and justified in pencil.Measurements: 65 x 50 cm.Considered one of the key artists of the second half of the 20th century, Rueda was a pioneer in the introduction of informalism in Spain, and creator of the Museum of Abstract Art in Cuenca together with Zóbel. He exhibited for the first time in Madrid in 1949, and since then his work has been increasingly present in the artistic circles of the capital. In 1957 he made the definitive international leap and held his first solo exhibition in Paris, at the Galerie La Roue. The exhibition was a great success, and shortly afterwards the then director of the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Jean Cassou, acquired his painting "Composition Gris ou Balbina". On the other hand, his solo exhibition in 1958 at the Madrid Athenaeum brought him a great deal of attention in Spain. He took part in the Spanish Pavilion at the 30th Venice Biennale with three paintings. During these years Rueda and Zóbel began to build up their magnificent collection of works by Spanish abstract artists of the post-war period, for the exhibition of which they formed the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art in Cuenca in 1966. Meanwhile, Rueda continued to show his personal work in important galleries, and in 1965 he began to collaborate with the Juana Mordó in Madrid, which would eventually become his gallery. The following year he also won the Serra Brothers Prize at the Salón de Mayo in Barcelona. He exhibited twice at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, and the IVAM dedicated nine exhibitions and catalogues to him between 1996 and 2008. In 1995 he was appointed member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. Gerardo Rueda is currently represented at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the British Museum in London, the Fine Arts Museum in San Francisco, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Rufino Tamayo Contemporary Art Museum in Mexico, Caracas and Barcelona, etc.
