Artist / Maker / Authority: 
Josep Maria Subirachs

This artwork belongs to the moment in which Subirachs quits the expressionist figuration to explore abstraction. Exceptionally for this artist, it is an iron art piece that, for technique and style, reminds to the pioneer Juli González. The oxides and the use of found elements connect with Informalism. The geometric tensions and the play of balances, characteristic of Subirachs.
