Parc de la Creueta del Coll
was designed in 1981 by Oriol Bohigas, Josep M. Martorell and David Mackay
and was built in 1983-1987.
At Parc de la Creueta del Coll is Chillida's 'Eulogy to Water ' hanging
above the pool.
We're very lucky to have Chillida's work in Barcelona and it's a pity
he died last year. It's a very big sculpture because Chillida has always
done huge ones and "Eulogy to Water" is enormous. The background
of the photograph is not very nice because the grass is not green anymore
and the contrast isn't beautiful.
I used to go there with my grandfather and that's why I keep good memories
of the park. I used to go there to play and I didn't know anything about
the sculpture which weighs 80 tones and it's suspended over the water
by four steel cables. It's very beautiful and I'm sure that not many people
know the existence of this work of concrete mass of Eduardo Chillida.
