Book description
The idea for these guides sprang from hard times. Whether in boom or recession, art remains fundamental. But while free art is a great idea, not all great art is free. So this guide takes you places where there is no admission fee.
BCN Free Art 01: The Port and Barceloneta guides you around artworks on Barcelona’s waterfront and through the fishing neighbourhood of Barceloneta, describing the city’s history, the artists – such as Xavier Mariscal, JM Subirachs, Rebecca Horn, Juan Muñoz and James Turrell – who created these sculptures, and the stories that bring Barcelona alive.
This edition of BCN Free Art 01: The Port and Barceloneta has been fully revised. Extra information has been added, while we have replaced some lower-quality photos with better images. We have also made the route more streamlined and easier to follow. So the chapters have been reorganised and every artwork is now linked to its position on Google maps. There are even links to other artworks mentioned that aren’t part of the official route!
The Barcelona Free Art guides inform without being academic, helping you enjoy Barcelona’s culture as you stroll or cycle around town.
