The first movable sculpture in Argentina: The Steel Flower of Argentina
La Floralis Genérica is the first movable sculpture. This stainless - steel work, which is up to 20 meters tall and weighs 18 tons, can automatically open and close according to the time of the day. It can achieve this because it is equipped with a hydraulic system and a photoelectric sensing device inside.
This work was donated to the city by Argentine architect Eduardo Catalano. He had been conceiving a large - scale structure that could reflect the dynamics of our era.
On April 13, 2002, this sculpture was officially unveiled as a tribute to all flowers. Since then, it has become one of the most visited artworks by tourists.
Today, it has become a symbol of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
