    art on the canal

    “The rusty-brown iron spheres are elaborately assembled collages that are set up over a scaffolding and trimmed at the seams after the welding process. The material, dull, rusty and porous, is designed for change."

    Ute Lechner, Hans Thurner

      In the area of the municipality of Berg, a sculpture path with six large-sized objects was created along the industrial monument Ludwig-Donau-Main-Kanal. They were designed by regional and international artists from stone, wood and steel.

                  The welded, rusty steel balls are part of the "Art on the Canal" production
