Biographies

Corberó, Ana

Ana Corberó is a visual artist whose work includes painting, sculpture and design. Born in 1961 to the Catalan sculptor Xavier Corberó, she studied in the United States and has lived in London, Paris and Beirut.
Her figurative works display a sensibility towards the fragility of nature and the delicate relationship between humans and their environment, as well as the variety and complexity of people’s family, cultural and historical inheritance.
Since 2010, and as a direct result of the Israeli-Lebanese war in 2006, Corberó has published two poetry collections: Prickly Pear Poems and Pettered Patter Poems.

Biographies

Riera, Daniel

Daniel Riera is a nationally and internationally renowned fashion photographer. He holds a degree in Fine Arts (specialised in Image) from the University of Barcelona (1988-93) and a master’s in Creative Film Documentaries from UPF-BSM (2022-24).
Today, he divides his time between Barcelona and New York, his photography capturing the essence of daily life, the wonder of what is closest to us and which often goes unnoticed.
He has published several books, including this one (Apartamento Publishing, 2021); filmed the visuals for Handel’s opera Rinaldo, directed by Xavier Sabata in 2023 and participated in multiple individual and group exhibitions.

Xavier Corberó (1935–2017) is among the foremost Spanish artists of the last century. His sculptures in rough-hewn stone, marble, and bronze gave form to ideas running through a circle of contemporary surrealist artists, including Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, and Joan Miró, but with pieces distinctly his own. His works are widely and internationally celebrated in institutions like London’s V&A and New York’s The Met, but maybe his greatest artwork is located on the outskirts of Barcelona in the form of the home he built for himself over a period of five decades, a series of labyrinthine rooms, levels, buildings, and arches that he continually added to whenever money came his way, conceiving new plans on morning strolls with the local builder.The House of Xavier Corberó, edited by his daughter Ana Corberó, is the first publication to explore this home in Esplugues de Llobregat, which soon looks to be sold. With original photography by Daniel Riera, it also features a series of texts by long-time friends and colleagues of the artist: the architects Ricardo Bofill and Josep Acebillo, program director at World Architecture Festival Paul Finch, artist and journalist Celia Lyttelton, RBTA director Pablo Bofill, as well as an interview with Corberó himself by the filmmaker Albert Moya, originally published in issue #16 of Apartamento magazine.
