Miteinander

Together

Heinrich Brockmeier
1999

Description

Two 2.5 meter high stelae with a square ground plan. Each of these is made up of three stainless steel blocks that are twice broken through by groups of people. A group consists of 25 bronze figures, arranged in rows of five and alternating between male and female. Due to serial production, the male and female figures are the same. It also introduces the abstraction of sex characteristics to a great resemblance of all figures.

Sculptor

Heinrich Brockmeier (Berlin 1938), German sculptor of Recklinghausen, married with Uschi Klaas (Website).
