Julio González

One hundred and fifty years later, Julio González still occupies an essential place in the history of contemporary sculpture.

Julio González was born in 1876. The artist revolutionized sculpture by daring to ‘draw in space’.

The Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga will present ‘Julio González, pintor y dibujante’ in its Sala Noble from 22 October 2026 through 17 January 2027, bringing attention to a comparatively little-known aspect of the Barcelona-born artist’s practice.

The Museo Carmen Thyssen Málaga will open ‘¡Olé! El mito de lo español a través de Andalucía’ on 3 October, bringing together an extensive selection of artworks that examines how Andalusia has shaped visual ideas of Spain since the 19th century.
