Studio Weil

Studio Weil is a painting and sculpture studio designed and built for about $720,000 (finished in 2003) for the Barbara Weil in Mallorca, Spain.

Barbara was an American painter and sculptor. Weil first sailed into Mallorca in 1967.  “Mallorca was so romantic and Puerto Andratx was populated by such an alternative crowd back then,” she says. Her paintings were brave and unusual. She takes categories of painting, sculpture and architecture and converts them into abstract expressionism and even newer art styles.

Daniel Libeskind and Ms. Weil wanted to create a building which not only responds to the surrounding landscape, but also forms a space which complements and contrasts the artist’s work. 

The building houses exhibition spaces, working quarters and a dramatic landscaped garden, which are designed to combination of architecture with art throw light, complement and express the art of Barbara Weil.

The form of the building reminds arc cut throw with a pairs of stairs. One leading up to the floor from we can see the spectacular view of the sea and the other from the garden to the ground-floor gallery. On the roof ale sculptures which we can be seen from afar.
