Los objetos de culto de Néstor Basterretxea para la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Lasarte (Álava)

Abstract

In the middle of the seventies of the last century and because of the restoration of the Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion s church in the village of Lasarte, (Alava), the provincial council of Alava commissioned Nestor Basterretxea making several objects of worship for the presbytery of it. Despite the initial contrast between contemporary and abstract forms prepared by the sculptor and the Romanic style of the apse, as a whole, all the elements came to harmonize perfectly. We will know the ups and downs of the work, while we will discover an unknown part of the Basque contemporary artistic heritage.
