BARCELONA, Spain. "The fish", sculpture made by Frank Gehry (1992)


Carrer de Ramon Trias Fargas Nº 2. Port Olímpic.

El Peix (The Fish, also known as the Golden Fish), sculpture 56 meters long and 35 meters high made by the Canadian architect, designer and sculptor Frank Owen Goldberg, known as Frank Gehry (b. Toronto, 1929). 

The sculpture was installed next to the Olympic Port of Barcelona in 1992 for the Summer Olympic Games held that year in the city. It is made up of intertwined golden stainless steel strips supported by a metal structure. The interaction with the sun's rays creates the impression of scales, depending on the intensity of the light, and accentuates the organic form of this enormous work, which has become one of the identifying symbols of Barcelona.
