FIRST TEMPORARY EXHIBITION 2007
 
This first exhibition of the year devoted to the 30th anniversary of the Wind Comb mainly focuses on the importance of the location and the installation of this work at the end of the Paseo del Tenis in San Sebastián. Eduardo Chillida grew up and went through the important stages of his childhood and adolescence on la Concha Bay and as a result, this spot played a prominent role in his life which resulted in the creation of a sculpture that was a homage to his city.

 
This exhibition is a homage to the place and the people who were involved in making the sculptor’s dream become a reality. Art, architecture and engineering came together to construct the Wind Comb, and turned the space by the sea into a meeting place with nature that would be integrated into the city itself. But above all the exhibition aims to thank Luis Peña Ganchegui (architect), José Mari Elósegui (engineer) and Patricio Echeverría (blacksmith) without whom it would have been impossible to carry out the project.
 

This exhibition includes 20 pieces: 8 sculptures, 3 gravitations, 3 drawings of hands, 2 ink drawings, 4 collages, and about twenty panels with photographs and explanations showing the forging of the three sculptures, their definitive sitting, the architectural and engineering work that was involved in installing the pieces, and cuttings of family life at the time that the Wind Comb was installed
