Art in Pedra under the roof of La Pedrera

The light from Passeig de Gràcia filters through the windows and balconies of La Pedrera and slides between the curves, the holes and the different abstract shapes of each of the sculptures. Stone is shown as a space of freedom and experimentation, since for the first time artists cut their works directly without clay or plaster models.
