Artwork Description

Como ya planteara la Bauhaus alemana en el periodo de entreguerras, el Equipo 57 también optó por la unificación práctica conjunta de las distintas variantes que conforman las Artes Plásticas (arquitectura, escultura, pintura, diseño, etc.), por lo que su actividad abarcaría incluso la ejecución y decoración de interiores y el diseño de mobiliario. Al igual, durante toda su trayectoria el enfrentamiento con la escultura vino a suponer un reto decisivo en tanto que significaba llevar a la tercera dimensión lo que habían venido desarrollando en el ámbito de las dos dimensiones. Su primer contacto con la escultura se produjo en Córdoba a partir del verano de 1958, pretendiendo aplicar la teoría de la Interactividad al concepto de masa.

Artist Biography

Equipo 57: Pioneers of Geometric Abstraction

Equipo 57 emerged from the vibrant artistic landscape of post-war Paris, a collective born in 1957 that swiftly established itself as one of the foremost voices within the concrete art movement. Founded by Ángel Duarte, José Duarte, Juan Serrano, Juan Cuenca, and Agustín Ibarrola – architects, sculptors, and painters united by a shared conviction – the group represented a decisive step forward from earlier explorations of abstraction, prioritizing clarity and precision in their visual language. Their genesis lay firmly rooted in Theo van Doesburg’s seminal concept of “concrete art,” articulated in 1930. Van Doesburg championed an aesthetic that rejected subjective expression, advocating instead for a rigorously rational approach to artistic creation—a deliberate antithesis to the prevailing trends of Surrealism and Expressionism. Equipo 57 wholeheartedly embraced this philosophy, recognizing its imperative for stripping away superfluous ornamentation and focusing solely on fundamental geometric forms: squares, rectangles, circles, and lines. These elements weren’t merely decorative; they functioned as building blocks, conveying meaning through their spatial relationships and compositional arrangements. The group's artistic output spanned a relatively brief period between 1957 and 1962, yet its impact on the trajectory of abstract art is undeniable. Their explorations encompassed sculpture, architectural projects, and graphic design, consistently demonstrating a commitment to exploring the expressive potential inherent in geometric abstraction. Ibarrola’s monumental sculptures—particularly “La Gran Pirámide”—became iconic representations of this style, embodying solidity and permanence while simultaneously conveying an underlying sense of dynamism through carefully calibrated proportions. Serrano's architectural designs prioritized minimalist aesthetics, emphasizing clean lines and open spaces – principles that mirrored the group’s artistic ethos. Cuenca’s paintings showcased a masterful manipulation of color palettes, utilizing muted hues to heighten the visual impact of geometric shapes. Duarte’s sculptural works explored similar themes of balance and harmony. Max Bill, recognizing Equipo 57's contribution to disseminating concrete art internationally, spearheaded the inaugural exhibition in Cologne in 1944, solidifying its position as a cornerstone of modernist artistic discourse. Following Bill’s influence, Equipo 57 actively participated in subsequent exhibitions across Europe and Latin America, fostering dialogue between artists and promoting the stylistic principles championed by Van Doesburg and Bill. Their work continues to resonate today, serving as an enduring testament to the power of geometric abstraction—a visual language that prioritizes intellectual rigor and aesthetic beauty alike.
  • Ángel Duarte (1927-2013): Architect and sculptor known for monumental sculptures like “La Gran Pirámide.”
  • José Duarte (1928-2005): Sculptor specializing in geometric forms.
  • Juan Serrano (1926-2007): Architect who championed minimalist design principles.
