A Viennese artist who has lived in Madrid since 1965, Eva Lootz trained in her native city, where she studied Fine Arts, Musicology, Cinematography and Philosophy. Although she is mainly known for her sculptural work, Lootz also works in installation, drawing, printmaking, photography, video and sound, always focusing on her main concern: the relationship between matter and language. She began her exhibition activity in 1973, and since then she has held regular solo exhibitions both in Spain and abroad, in galleries and art centres such as the Galleriet in Lund (Sweden, 1981), the David Breitzel in New York (1990), the Barbara Faber in Amsterdam (1990, 1994, 1996), the South London in London (1994), the Fundación Pilar i Joan Miró in Palma (1996), the Luis Adelantado in Valencia (1997), the Borås Konstmuseum (Sweden, 1997) and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid (2002). She has also participated in competitions, group shows and official exhibitions such as Expo'92 in Seville, and in 1994 she was awarded the National Prize for Fine Arts. She is currently represented in the MACBA in Barcelona, the MNCARS in Madrid, the Museum of Abstract Art in Cuenca, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Malmö, the CAAM in Las Palmas, the Patio Herreriano Museum in Valladolid and many other public and private collections.
