Claes Oldenburg's "Mistos (Matches)" is a towering sculpture that has become an iconic landmark in Barcelona. Standing 22 meters high, this art piece is a playful yet profound representation of everyday objects, elevating the commonplace match to monumental status. Commissioned during the Olympic period, Oldenburg's work was made from multi-colored metal and cement in 1992, showcasing a series of giant matches protruding higgledy-piggledy from a matchbook cover. With one match burning with a bluish flame and others scattered on the ground, the sculpture exudes a dynamic energy that reflects both the spirit of the Olympics and the vibrancy of life itself. Located in the Vall d'Hebrón, the sculpture not only decorates the former Olympic site but also revitalizes an area that was once isolated and forgotten, bringing harmony and character to its surroundings. Oldenburg's pop art aesthetic, inspired by the world of comics and advertising, ensures that these "matches" cannot go unnoticed, making "Mistos (Matches)" a significant and attractive landmark within Barcelona's urban landscape​ (Barcelona Turisme)​​ ((no title))​.
