Brickwork Sculpture

Despite the fact that the two sculptures he created for the 1987 Skulptur Projekte are located 20 meters apart on different sections of grass in the Schlossplatz, the sculptor considers them to be part of the same work. One part is flat square form atop a cross-shaped foundation; the other is tower-like stele. Both sculptures are constructed out of the same redbrick, which was baked specially for this purpose.
The characteristic blind segmental arches found on both sculptures put them in direct communication with each other, as well as with the architecture of the palace on one side of the square and with the residential buildings on the other. They seem to symbolize a sinking and emerging architecture that is representative of the rising landscape of Münster as a city.
