The Museu Tàpies in Barcelona is drawing attention to Antoni Tàpies’s sculpture ‘Núvol i Cadira’, describing the work as appearing to hover above the museum. The notice, published on 25 August 2026, invites visitors to see the sculpture but does not announce a new exhibition, event or special programme.
The museum’s text connects the work to a dream recounted by Tàpies in one of his writings. In that account, the artist describes his wife, Teresa, dreaming that she was “floating amid the whiteness of infinite space.” The dream is presented as the context for the sculpture’s imagery.
‘Núvol i Cadira’ brings together the forms of a cloud and a chair, as indicated by its Catalan title. The museum’s description emphasizes the work’s elevated position above the institution, presenting it as a sculptural presence to be viewed in relation to the museum building.
The brief announcement does not provide information about the sculpture’s date, materials, dimensions or installation history. It also gives no specific viewing period beyond the invitation to visit the Museu Tàpies in Barcelona. Antoni Tàpies’s connection to the institution is reflected in the museum’s name and in its presentation of this work, while the notice remains focused on the sculpture and the dream associated with it.
No separate event dates, ticketing details or related activities are listed. The museum’s invitation is simply to see ‘Núvol i Cadira’, the sculpture described as hovering over the Museu Tàpies.
