50 years of Picasso’s friezes on the Architects’ College of Catalonia

In May 1955, the Official College of Architects of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands inaugurated its new headquarters in the Plaça Nova of Barcelona, in front of the Cathedral.  The building was decorated with some friezes by Picasso, produced by the Nordic artist Carl Nesjar.
