Detail InformationEdit

Woman and Bird (Catalan: Dona i ocell) is a 22-metre high sculpture by Joan Miró located in the Parc Joan Miró in Barcelona. The sculpture was covered in tiles by the artist’s collaborator Joan Gardy Artigas. The sculpture is part of a trilogy that was commissioned from Miró to welcome visitors to Barcelona.
The concrete sculpture was formally opened in 1982 or 1983 (sources vary) and it was one of Joan Miró’s last large sculptures which he constructed with the help of his friend and collaborator Joan Gardy Artigas. Miró was not able to attend the opening as he was too ill and he died less than a year later.
The work uses uses some of Miró’s recurring themes of women and birds. In Catalan the word for a “bird” is a term for a penis. This is reflected in the phallic shape of the main form which has a hole through the glans. The sculpture is decorated in primary colours and it has a vulva shaped split down the side of the shaft which is lined with blackish tiles. The idea for the sculpture is not new and examples of placing vulva on a model penis and a hole in the glans have been found on Roman sculpture from the second or third century.
