The well-known Gaudi’s building la Pedrera holds an exposition combining art and food – El arte de comer: La naturaleza muerta de Ferran Adrià

The food and gastronomy have always been a source of inspiration for many artists, and this 130 works exposition is the best proof. The exposition is divided into four parts:

The first one shows the progress of still life from the baroque period till the avant-garde.

The second one, and the most surprising, is the contemporary art. Visitors can discover here different works such as a meat-made chair, a huge saucepan full of mussels, or an interesting version of Manet’s Breakfast on the Grass painting.

The third section is dedicated to three artists’ experiences who became restorers in the 70s and 80s.

The fourth and last part has its own name: Ferran Adrià. His works are reproduced in photographs by Richard Hamilton or Hannah Collins, music by Bruno Mantovani, or in a video about his participation in Documenta Kassel 2007.

The person responsible for the exposition declares that this is a continuation of the Bulli’s restaurant book Comida para pensar, pensar sobre el comer.

The exposition ends with a quote from the artist Peter Kubelka: “Cooking is the most ancient human activity. When cooking, people express their worldview.”
