A feature of his artistic career was his capacity to organize spaces and create places, which he transferred to his public work. Chillida expressed his more architectural facet in his monumental works. After embarking on his artistic career in 1948, he produced over forty sculptures spread across different squares and cities worldwide, thus tracing a map that began in Donostia-San Sebastian and which gradually spread beyond the confines of his native Basque Country. Houston, Madrid, Barcelona, Washington, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt or Helsinki are some of the cities where one may come face to face with an Eduardo Chillida sculpture.
