“Games”
Artist: Elisa Arimany (b. Barcelona, Spain, r. Barcelona and Miami, FL)

Located in an open plaza along the Olympic Way at the intersection of Capitol Avenue and the I-20 exit ramp, “Games” was highly visible to those traveling to and from the Olympic Stadium during the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. The steel sculpture is an abstract assemblage of five open squares resting on a conical shape mounted on a concrete base. It was commissioned by the Cultural Legacy Initiative, which brought major permanent public works of art to Atlanta from Barcelona--the 1992 Summer Olympic City--as an Olympic cultural exchange. Today it serves as a monument to the Olympics in Atlanta and a marker leading to Turner Field.
