“Chillida was interested in the juxtaposition, the interplay of mass and void, and he often worked in incredibly weighty, massive materials—forged iron, forged steel, alabaster, stone. He also did these incredibly beautiful, lyrical, delicate works on paper that I think many people may not be aware of.” —Jed Morse, Chief Curator, Nasher Sculpture Center
