Amadeo Gabino, Spanish (1922 - 2004)

Between 1958 and 1960, Gabino worked in Germany, where he left figurative work behind him. From 1961 his work developed its now characteristic constructivist aspects; his graphic work incorporated collage and sculptures included burnished, gold and silver colored metals overlayed and cut in concentric circles.

Gabino trained at Valencia´s San Carlos School of Art and in his sculptor father´s workshop. He finished his studies in Rome, Milan, Paris and Hamburg, and in New York with a Ford Foundation grant.
