Figure découpée, Abstract sculpture in Vondelpark, Netherlands
The Figure découpée stands at 5 meters tall, featuring a bird design with spread wings, head pointing right, and feet positioned below.
Pablo Picasso created the original wooden design in 1958, and Norwegian artist Carl Nesjar transformed it into concrete using bétongravure technique in 1965.
The sculpture represents a significant collaboration between Picasso and Nesjar, demonstrating the advancement of concrete casting methods in public art.
The sculpture maintains its accessible location in Vondelpark, allowing visitors to observe the detailed surface patterns created through sandblasting techniques.
The Netherlands version measures 5.029 meters, making it the largest among three identical sculptures located in different countries.
