More than 52,000 people have visited the exhibition 'Jaume Plensa. Poetry of silence' in La Pedrera, becoming the most viewed of the Foundation

More than 52,000 people have visited the 'Jaume Plensa exhibition. Poetry of Silence', which opened in La Pedrera last March and closed its doors on July 23, 2023, becoming the most viewed of the Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera in recent years.

The exhibition, curated by Javier Molins, has been integrated by nearly a hundred pieces dated between 1988 and the present day, mainly sculptures, but with the presence of works on paper as well. The exhibition tour revealed to the public some unpublished sculptures created by Plensa during the confinement due to Covid.

Plensa's relationship with literature, especially with poetry, has been the guiding thread of the exhibition, which also featured other recurring themes in his career, such as silence, sleep, desire, music and family.

In the exhibition room, a more unknown, intimate and conceptual Plensa, with a series of small-format pieces made in the nineties. And outside the room, the creator's large-format works have shared space with Casa Milà - La Pedrera, a unique dialogue between Plensa and Gaudí's architecture.

Flora, one of the sculptures that has generated the most expectation, located in the corner of Passeig de Gràcia, can be seen until Friday 28 July, the day it will say goodbye forever. The rest of the works will be removed between Monday 24 and Sunday 30 July, to make way for the next exhibition from September 22, dedicated to Antonio López.
