"In the mid-eighties, Rolf Glasmeier supplied the design for the painting of the ball gas tank on the Rhein-Herne-Kanal.With the yellow dots on a blue background and the red columns, the barrel-sized gas tank looks like a light, funny ball to the technical system, which is also secured with signs that mark a security zone.

With this ambivalence of heavy and light, playful and dangerous, Glasmeier has set an exciting counterpoint in the technically influenced landscape and thus created one of the first works of art on the Rhine-Herne Canal. "Source: kulturkanal.ruhr/der -ball-Rolf-glass Meier-1985

"Rolf Glasmeier provided the design for the painting of the spherical gas container on the Rhine-Herne Canal in the mid-eighties. With the yellow dots on a blue background and the red supports, the gas container, which weighs several tons, looks like a light, funny ball."

The colorful "Ball" is a nice change from the gray industrial plants on the canal.
