STREET ART BY TheNBP

The 'stabile' by Alexander Calder that presides over the entrance of the Fundació Joan Miró

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 learn about the work 4 Wings, a sculpture by the American artist Alexander Calder that was removed from Francesc Macià square after neighborhood pressure and that today presides over the entrance of the Fundació Joan Miró, surrounded by the work of his great friend.

"The profound sense of form in my work has been the system of the universe, or part of it. That's why it's a pretty big model to work with," Alexander Calder
