This very abstract sculpture is dated 1968 and the artist is Flávio de Carvalho and is an homage to the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca.
Wikipedia (

"Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca... 5 June 1898 – 19 August 1936), known as Federico García Lorca[a] (English: /g??r?si?? 'l??rk?/ gar-SEE-? LOR-k?), was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director.
García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting of mostly poets who introduced the tenets of European movements (such as symbolism, futurism, and surrealism) into Spanish literature. He was killed by Nationalist forces at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. His remains have never been found.
