Monuments and sculptures

Despair, Josep Llimona

Despair, Josep Llimona

A girl, slumped to her knees, her hands delicately clasped and her face covered by her mane of hair, rises up in the middle of the pond in the Plaça d"Armes, in Barcelona"s Parc de la Ciutadella. It seems that nothing or no one can console her. Here Despair takes the form of the sculpture of a woman.
Fallen Sky, Beverly Pepper

Fallen Sky, Beverly Pepper

A fallen sky is reflected in the undulating forms emerging from the grass in Barcelona"s Parc de l"Estació del Nord, in a subtle interplay with the natural surface. This is the sculptural ensemble designed by Beverly Pepper to decorate the new park laid out on the site of a disused railway station.

L'Estel ferit, (The Wounded Shooting Star), Rebecca Horn

The sculpture L"Estel Ferit (The Wounded Shooting Star) consists of four twisted cubes, stacked seemingly at random. Most people refer to this popular landmark as "the cubes", and it is a clear reflection of Barcelona"s penchant for ground-breaking art during the Olympic period. However, its symbolism is inextricably linked to the past of the Barceloneta district.
