拍品專文

This painting was finished in early 1957 in Florence, where Grau studied and lived for several years. After it was presented in a one-man show in Rome, it sailed for the United States where it participated in several individual and collective art exhibitions. It was dormant in a gallery in Boston until its present owner recovered it in 1974, along with seven other paintings by Grau of the same period.

Juegos Nocturnos represents an important part of Grau's artistic history. The artist himself considers it a major example of his evolution, to the extent that he explicitly requested it to be part of the simultaneous retrospective that was held in eight galleries in Santa Fe de Bogot in 1991, with the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his artistic life.
