galerie lelong & co. announces the exhibition of seven monumental sculptures by jaume plensa at santiago calatrava’s city of arts and sciences in valencia, spain. each cast iron sculpture in the water comprises a large-scale portrait head of a woman respectively entitled silvia, isabella, laura asia, maria, minna, carla, and laurelle. each is presented with eyes closed and gaze directed inward. together, the arrangement encourages a tranquil moment that transforms the public space of the city of arts and sciences into a highly personal one.
