The spectacular international success of the Spanish sculptor Juan Muñoz has tended to encourage a critical framing of the artist’s work within narratives of global postmodernist innovation. This book, the first in-depth study of the central idea of silence in Muñoz’s work, aims to position him more clearly within his historical moment, by reading his work against the silences of Spanish politics and culture in post-Civil War Spain. Drawing on a wealth of documents, beginning with Muñoz’s student notebooks, the book shows how silence and memory defined and shaped his art.
