The book entitled "Guia de les escultures de Mollet del Vallès. Metalls, tècniques i curiositats" by Asunción Valiente was issued on the 6th of May 2015.
This
publication presents a comprehensive study on the current 35 metal artwork
pieces located in public spaces of Mollet del Vallès. The sculptures are
described from a technical perspective: metallic alloys, joining techniques and
protective mechanisms against corrosion are described. However, this research
also reveals interesting curiosities and secrets hidden by these sculptures.
The information is organised in clear datasheets, where the technical details
from the experimental observation and from the official technical project
reports are summarised. The symbolisms, anecdotes and curiosities included in
this work were gathered during fruitful conversations with authors, authorities
and companies involved in the execution of the metal works. The main aim of
this work is to invite the reader to stroll into town, to rediscover our
heritage, to appreciate it and to make new generations love it.
