Sleeping Figures - Barcelona, Spain - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

The Sculpture Garden is the latest addition to the Fundació Fran Daurel. It is reached through the Montblanc gate. 5,000 m2 of land has been reclaimed so that visitors can enjoy this permanent open-air sculpture collection. New works have been added to the garden which now comprises a green area featuring 41 large format sculptures by 27 contemporary artists, forming a landscape in which the figurative and abstract coexist, forming a wide range of shapes and colours which show us contemporary art from a different slant.

The sculptures by Xavier Garces depict a female and a male life-size figures lying on grass not too far from each other. They were made from terracotta in 2003. The woman is 1.6 meters tall and the man 1.8 meters.
