Final Weeks: Antoni T�pies, The Resources of Rhetoric
Closing Monday,

Dia and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, collaborate on a presentation of works by
Antoni T�pies at Dia:Beacon. Whereas Modernist painting was supposed to be anti-narrative, T�pies sought
the contrary: his narrative art exploits the resources of rhetoric. This exhibition invites a
reconsideration of the contribution of this venerable Spanish artist by recontextualizing his work in
relation to Dia's collection of American and German art of the Sixties and Seventies.
