^Lot 80YD Signed Original Pencil Sketch by Eduardo Chillida

Signed, original pencil sketch by Eduardo Chillida Juantegui. Chillida (10 January 1924 – 19 August 2002) was a Spanish Basque sculptor notable for his monumental abstract works. Before becoming a sculptor he had been the goalkeeper for Real Sociedad, San Sebastián's football team. Chillida's earliest sculptures concentrated on the human form (mostly torsos and busts); his later works tended to be more massive and more abstract, producing many monumental public works. Chillida himself tended to reject the label of "abstract", preferring instead to call himself a "realist sculptor". At their best his works, although massive and monumental, suggest movement and tension.
