The present lot is accompanied by a Sala Gaspar, Montserrat Gudiol exhibition brochure.

Montserrat Gudiol Corominas was a Catalonian painter born in Barcelona, Spain in 1933. She was the daughter of the prominent art historian José Gudiol Ricart who also ran a painting restoration workshop in which she trained. In 1950, Gudiol Corominas held her first show in Ripoll, Spain and during her career she went on to exhibit throughout Spain and in South Africa, the USA, and Canada. In 1981, she was the first woman elected as a full member of the Real Academia Catalana of Fine Arts of San Jordi, Barcelona. Her works are figurative in nature – often set against abstract backgrounds – and imbued with tenderness and emotion.
