In celebration of its tenth anniversary, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao commissioned French artist Daniel Buren to create a site-specific work that uses the La Salve Bridge, located next to the museum. Designed as a vertical piece perpendicular to the bridge, out of which three circles located at equal distances from each other are cut, Arcos Rojos makes the structure of the La Salve Bridge a more visible and inviting entrance to the city center. Frank Gehry-designed Guggenheim Museum Bilbao—a spectacular structure made of titanium, glass, and limestone—was hailed as the most important building of its time. Located in the Basque city of Bilbao in northern Spain, the museum features exhibitions organized by the Guggenheim Foundation and by the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, as well as selections from the permanent collection of the Guggenheim Museums.
