In 1984, Juan Muñoz’s (b. 1953, Madrid; d. 2001, Ibiza) first solo exhibition, held in his home city of Madrid, featured a small winding staircase topped with a balcony, resting against a wall. Muñoz said that this work was "the first piece I recall with which I had a certain feeling of identity." This architectural motif would recur throughout the artist’s career and now more than two decades later, this sculpture is part of the most important international retrospective of Muñoz’s work, an exhibition of more than 80 works including sculptures, installations, drawings, radio plays, and writings, some never before seen.
