STREET ART BY TheNBP

Claes Oldenburg's matches in Vall d'Hebron

Barcelona has a great hidden treasure: works of art located in its streets. They are pieces by great international artists, but many times we pass by without realizing their existence. Today we travel to the Parc de la Vall d'Hebron, at the foot of the Serra de Collserola, to see Mistos, the sculpture by artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje Van Bruggen, with an everyday object that they elevate to large dimensions: a pack of matches.
