Barcelona's Head

Local nameLa Cara de Barcelona
LocationGothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain

El Cap de Barcelona is a Pop sculpture created by American artist Roy Lichtenstein for the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Its English title is Brushstroke Head IV or Barcelona Head

The sculpture was Lichtenstein's first outdoor work using glazed ceramic tile. It is a reference to Antoni Gaudí and Josep Maria Jujol's trencadís mosaic technique.

The sculpture stands tall on the waterfront in the heart of the city. Made out of concrete, glazed ceramic tile and stainless steel, it is an abstract rendition of a woman's head and appears exactly how one would expect a Lichtenstein sculpture to be.
