Chillida¿s interest in a range of materials and in public works is clear in the concrete Meeting Place IV, the artist simply explores the monumental facet of his oeuvre and the desire to match his forms with a material used in architecture, while delimiting a space for habitation. Levitation, another of the sculptor's obsessions, is also present in this work. [Javier Viar]
