Miró sculpture |
Parc de l'Escorxador Barcelona, Barcelona 08015 +34 9 3285 3834 (Tourist Assistance) |
La Dona i L'Ocell (The Woman and the Bird) is a Joan Miró sculpture located close to a small lake in Parc de l'Escorxador. The park itself is on the Eixample Esquerra (Left Eixample) and the sculpture is easily visible from a distance, as it stands a massive 22m high. It was commissioned as part of Barcelona's 1983 public art initiative. It's an abstract work (of course!), typical of Miró, and was considered quite radical in its day, it is covered in brightly coloured broken mosaic pieces (called trencadís in Catalan).
