"Zeller Schwarze Katz" Roundabout Figure, Zell
On August 18, 2012, the new oversized Zeller Schwarze Katz sculpture was finally unveiled on the new roundabout with an opening ceremony hosted by the Wine Queen. Standing 5 meters tall, it now raises its glass to the sky, toasting the crowd. So, I can now let the cat out of the bag and reveal the final secret of my pyramid, in whose (weather) protection this oversized sculpture, weighing almost 9 tons, was created since November of last year. To ensure smooth transport from the studio's outdoor area to Zell on the Moselle, certain dimensions and weights could not be exceeded. Therefore, the iron-reinforced foundation plate with a diameter of 2.5 meters and the almost 1.90-meter-long half wine barrel on top was created first. The upper, second half of the barrel is the base plate for the actual cat sculpture. The three iron reinforcements for the tail and legs were cast into it, each consisting of a 70 mm outer tube, an inserted 50 mm inner tube, and an inserted 20 mm steel rod, which were cast into each other. After the legs and tail were constructed and finished, the body block, also made of iron, was constructed and then finished. The surfaces consist of a black or dark brown cement coating. The gray base area, still visible in the photos, is filled with fill to create the core of a typical Mosel vineyard, from which this Zell Black Cat welcomes visitors.

A winemaker from the vineyard "Black Katz" has explained to me the name of the vineyard so that the winegrower must have as well trained claws as cats to cope with the vineyard. However, he has awarded his own wines so much at the wine tasting that I have to ask myself if I can really take that at face value ;-)
