DEEDS CALENDAR: Maria Helena Vieira da Silva. Anatomy of space – Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao) | until 22.02.2026
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao will present ‘Maria Helena Vieira da Silva: Anatomy of Space’ from 16 October 2025 to 22 February 2026. The exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the visual language of Portuguese-born French artist Maria Helena Vieira da Silva (1908–1992). Organised into eight thematic sections, the exhibition explores key moments in Vieira da Silva’s career from the 1930s to the late 1980s. Particular attention is paid to her interest in architectural space, in which she blurred the boundaries between real and imaginary urban landscapes and transcended formal references to Portuguese visual culture and avant-garde movements such as Cubism and Futurism.
