Spanish artist Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) was born in San Sebastián and grew up near the Biarritz Hotel, which was owned by his grandparents. Chillida had been the goalkeeper for Real Sociedad but his knee was seriously injured, ending a promising football career. He then studied architecture at the University of Madrid, but abandoned architecture for art, and the next year he moved to Paris, where he set up his first studio and began working in plaster and clay. Chillida's sculptures have been collected by major museums, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Britain in London, the Kunsthalle Basel in Switzerland; and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. He was also a prolific print maker
