Abstract
Architecture and the experimental visual arts in Spain in the fifties and sixties provide many opportunities for analysis that have yet to be discovered. Among these, the patronage by the Huarte family of industrialists, as sponsors of unprecedented creative work warrants special attention. The sculptor Jorte Oteiza, a member of the patrons' circle, was the great driving force behind Spanish culture in those years and one of the major instigators of the work of the patrons. The main objective of this study is to highlight some of the links between his work and the work of architects such as Sáenz de Oíza and Corrales y Molezún, as well as the possible influence of Le Corbusier in his conclusive final sculptures.
