Tips
The sculpture "The Reader" sits opposite the Mayersche bookstore in Aachen.
Wolf Ritz built the bronze sculpture in 1985 to mark the opening of the Treffen Taschenbuch bookstore in the Mayer bookstore. The bronze figure is a lady seated on a stone plinth, engrossed in the book opened in front of her. With this work, the German sculptor wants to draw attention to the need to deal with spiritual values.
