You can now purchase the last three available publications about our founder Martín Chirino in our store.
CATALOG RAISONNÉ / CATALOG RAISONNÉ Financed, produced and directed by the Azcona Foundation, with the collaboration of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, in Madrid, it has documentation by María Luisa Martín de Argila. It is the first exhaustive and carefully edited study of the work of Martín Chirino (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 1925- Madrid, 2019). It brings together all the sculptures of the Canarian artist, as well as his biography, bibliography, exhibition catalogs and index of works. Martín Chirino worked actively throughout the documentation and editorial process, supervising every detail and contributing ideas to the entire team involved. Volume I includes texts by the prestigious art critics Pierre Daix and Dore Ashton; cataloging and reproduction of sculptures made between 1952 and 2005.

CATALOG RAISONNÉ / CATALOG RAISONNÉ Volume II, in a bilingual edition in Spanish and English, includes the rest of the works by Martín Chirino from 2005 to 2019; expands and completes the cataloging of the sculptural works in volume I, with a set of sculptures that must have appeared in the previous list and whose existence was unknown at the time, as well as their technical data, both unique works and editions, and medals created by the artist. In short, more than 200. Also available: Limited edition artist's case of 200 copies, with volume I and volume II of the Catalog Raisonné that includes a facsimile edition of an original embossing created by Martín Chirino in 2016.
“Valyunque, Wonderful Solitude”, a book of photographs by Ángel L. Aldai starring Valyunque, Martín Chirino's home-workshop, and which the author photographed shortly after his death, now without the artist's presence.
"Martín Chirino: Winds. A spiral path to the origin", the third monograph, in collaboration with the Azcona Foundation, on the artist from the Canary Islands, written by Fernando Castro Flórez and framed as another volume of the Martín Chirino Encyclopedia, a project by the Foundation that bears her name, of which two previous ones have already been published, "Black Queens. New sculptures for the new world", written by Alfonso de la Torre and "Afrocán. The Oracle of the Wind", written by Antonio Manuel González Rodriguez.
