Around four years ago, artist Irene Grau told me that the dimensions of her Color Fields — the monochrome boards that she transported and photographed amidst nature — had two limitations: the length of the load of her van and the maximum width she was able to carry under her arm, between the palm of her hand and her armpit. Let’s imagine for a moment that the size of many of the landscapes created in a specific historical period was determined only by a limitation contained in the title of this project.

By assembling work by a wide range of artists from different fields, the ”la Caixa” Collection of Contemporary Art has fashioned a narrative that captures the abundance of poetic voices in contemporary art and offers a fresh look at the world around us.
