Ný gistiaðstaðaNý skráningExplore the Artistic Legacy of Joan Barbarà
Welcome to Studio 46, an atelier and private gallery founded in 1974 by Catalan master engraver and printmaker Joan Barbarà. Located in the Gràcia district, it is a cornerstone of Barcelona’s artistic heritage and one of the best-kept secrets in the city. Our space has hosted over 300 artists, including masters such as Joan Miró, Antoni Tapies, Salvador Dali, and Richard Hamilton, and contemporary talents like Lorenzo Quinn, Juliana Plexxo, Om Barbara, JJ Walker, Ruben Landini, Nura Saker, Nuria Guinovart and Joan Bofill.
• I’ll welcome you with drinks and share an overview of Studio 46 and its significance and fascinating history, starting with the legacy of Barbarà and his collaborations with many iconic 20th-century artists.
• We’ll explore the workshop, where you’ll learn about various engraving techniques and see some of the incredible works created in this historic space.
• Finally, we’ll visit the private gallery, still a working studio for many contemporary artists, who continue to reinterpret and innovate engraving and mixed media in exciting ways.
To make this experience even more memorable, you’ll leave with an original engraving from one of the artists at the Atelier—a unique memento of your journey into Barcelona’s vibrant art scene.
