An Argentine painter, sculptor, and printmaker who has lived in Mallorca since 1974, Horacio Sapere held his first exhibition in 1975 at the Ariel Gallery in Palma. Since then, he has regularly exhibited at galleries on the island, both in group and solo shows. By 1980, he had made the leap to the international stage and held a solo exhibition in Cairo. In 1985, he also held solo exhibitions at two galleries in Vienna; that same year, he participated in ART 16’85 in Basel, and in 1986, he took part in the ARCO art fair in Madrid. From that point on, he exhibited solo in Spain, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Basel, the United States, Canada, Argentina, and Portugal, while also carrying out major projects in Palma, such as the “Project on the 737 Fuselage” at the Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation (1994), which was also shown at the University of Ulm in Germany in 1995. As part of group exhibitions, Sapere’s work has also been featured in shows in Italy, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and France. His work is currently represented in both Spanish and international public and private collections.
