Dialogue in Barcelona

Guided visit to Espai Subirachs

Join us for an enlightening Dialogue focused on Josep M. Subirachs (Barcelona, ​​1927-2014), a highly acclaimed Catalan sculptor. Our visit will take us to the Espai Subirachs, located in the artist's birthplace of Poblenou. Here, we will have the privilege of exploring over a hundred of his remarkable works on permanent display.

Led by Judit Subirachs-Burgaya, the sculptor's daughter, an art historian, and the center's director, we will delve into an anthological exhibition that unveils the extensive and prolific career of this extraordinary artist. Beyond his renowned monumental intervention on the Passion façade of the Basilica of the Sagrada Família, we will discover the diverse and multifaceted nature of Subirachs' artistic production, which often remains overshadowed. He has left an indelible mark on public spaces with numerous monumental works interwoven with architecture and urbanism.

At the Espai Subirachs, we will encounter a more intimate side of the artist—a human-scale Subirachs—who also crafted numerous small and medium-format works cherished by collectors. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Josep M. Subirachs and his artistic legacy.
