Eduardo Chillida: Convergence

The San Diego Museum of Art (SDMA) proudly announces its upcoming major exhibition, Eduardo Chillida: Convergence, a comprehensive celebration of one of the foremost sculptors of postwar Europe. Opening on August 2, 2025, and running through February 8, 2026, this extraordinary exhibition marks the centenary of Eduardo Chillida (1924 – 2002) and highlights his enduring legacy. As the only US venue participating in the global centenary celebration, SDMA is honored to present the most expansive survey of Chillida’s works shown in the US in nearly 50 years.

Eduardo Chillida: Convergence spans the artist’s prolific career and features an exceptional range of materials, including forged iron, oak, alabaster, and clay. The exhibition includes iconic large-scale sculptures, delicate works on paper, and a virtual reality experience that illustrates Chillida’s innovative exploration of earth, sea, wind, and light. Deeply connected to the landscape and traditions of his Basque Country homeland, Chillida’s creations are points of convergence where multiple forces, including nature and culture, material and immaterial, form and void, all meet.
