The congress “ESCULPINT L’ESCULPTOR” addresses the processes through which the sculptor has professionally evolved, from the beginning to the end of his career. He also discusses the processes by which both the sculptor and his works have achieved a greater or lesser recognition, both among his contemporaries and in posterity. These assessments can present interesting contrasts; both in its geographical and chronological dimension as, even in the same time and place. The event also addresses the assessment of the resources used to acquire prestige, while giving special emphasis on the trips made, the facts that motivated and their consequences, as well as their international projects that arise in the transfer and hybridization processes. Finally, the congress is interested in the work of those sculptors who in his maturity suffered exile and in the processes of art in the service of the state. The congress focuses its attention on understanding the mechanisms through which the figure of the sculptor and his reputation are built, and on the development of their career, giving priority to the study of the architects of Catalan origin, and confining itself to the nineteenth and twentieth century."
