Francisco Sobrino

(Spain, 1932 - France, May 11, 2014). He studied sculpture and drawing at the School of Arts and Crafts in Spain. In 1949 he traveled to Argentina to continue his studies at the National School of Fine Arts. In 1960, together with Julio Le Parc and other French and Argentine artists, he founded the Groupe de Recherche d'Art Visuel (GRAV). In 1965, as part of GRAV, he participated in the exhibition "The Responsive Eye" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1968 the group disbanded, as its members exhibited frequently in major exhibitions and galleries.
His work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at the Tate Gallery, the Museum of Tel Aviv, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Paris and the Museum of Open Air Sculpture in Madrid.
