On Monday 19th May 2025, the mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni, presented the Gold Medal for Cultural Merit to Jaume Plensa in the Saló de Cent of Barcelona City Hall, highlighting his international projection and the value of his work in bringing art and culture closer to everyone.

“Barcelona recognizes you, loves you and loves your art”, Jaume Collboni

The glosa was made by the writer Monika Zgustová and there was a musical performance by the choir of treble voices of the Friends of the Union of Granollers.

With the awarding of the highest cultural distinction, the city expresses its gratitude to Plensa for an artistic career of excellence, characterised by his eagerness to transcend reality and explore the dimensions of the spirit.

The team and friends of galeria Senda join this recognition and we want to share it with all our followers.
