Femme, Public art sculpture at Casa de la Ciutat, Gothic Quarter, Spain
Femme is an abstract steel and painted sculpture positioned in front of City Hall in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. The work displays characteristic biomorphic forms rendered in bold colors typical of the artist's approach to large-scale public art.
The sculpture was created in 1981 during the final phase of the artist's career. It represents a moment when the creator was exploring abstract forms at monumental scale in public spaces.
The sculpture reflects Barcelona's commitment to displaying contemporary art within its medieval streets, connecting modern expression with historical architecture.
The work sits centrally in front of City Hall at Plaça Sant Jaume and is easy to locate while walking through the Gothic Quarter's narrow streets. Visitors can view the sculpture from multiple angles, particularly well from the town hall's entrance area.
The sculpture incorporates geometric shapes and abstract elements that maintain their visual impact both from street level and elevated viewing positions.
