Avenida de las Playas

Strelitzia (?)

Description

Yellow painted metal sculpture, which can turn in the wind. Alamy stock photos give Manrique as the sculptor. A title is not given, but to us it looks like a the flower of a strelitzia (bird of paradise flower), even more than the sculpture named 'Sterlitzia' not far away on the marine promenade.

Sculptor

César Manrique Cabrera (Arrecife, Lanzarote 1919 - Teguise, Lanzarote 1992), Spanish-Canarian painter, sculptor and architect (Wikipedia - Website).
