American sculptor, Alexander Calder, most famous for his kinetic moving, suspended mobile sculptures, also created a number of massive stationary works known as “stabiles”. One such sculpture is the Eagle. It is the centerpiece of the Olympic Sculpture Park located in Seattle, WA, USA. At 12 meters tall (38 feet), it is the antithesis of the delicate, hanging mobiles, and provides a unique and powerful presence in the park.

Sculpture min Read Contemporary Art Animals Contemporary Art Kintsugi (金継ぎ translates as “gold joinery”) is a Japanese art form and philosophy of repairing broken or cracked pottery with gold or silver-colored lacquer. Unlike normal methods of repair, the “damage” is not camouflaged or hidden but is highlighted, revealed, and emphasized. Much like the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, this art form sees potency in embracing flaws and imperfections.

Classical Greek statues depicting male and female bodies are iconic and legendary: they set the standards for numerous artists and art movements to come. Preceding the Classical Era was the Archaic (7th-5th c. BCE) during which numerous statues of young men (Kouros) and women (Kore) were created. They are seen as the first foray of Greek artists into exploring the human form in stone. The statues of men and women are quite different from the lifelike, naturalistic forms we are familiar with.

With her dark hair, pale skin, and light blue eyes, affectionately called “noix-de-coco” (coconut) by friends, Jeanne Hèbuterne (1898-1920) is most known for her intense and tragic relationship with Amedeo Modigliani. Yet she was also a budding artist, with her life and work cut short at only 21 years old when she committed suicide. At the time she was 8 months pregnant, and she died just two days after Modigliani’s death from tuberculosis in January 1920.

I visited Athens, Greece in the summer of 2016. Naturally, a visit to the Acropolis was mandatory, and it was as beautiful and epic as you can imagine. One of the most striking sights was the six Caryatids of the Erechtheion, which were even more hypnotizing and graceful than I had anticipated. As the only visible figures still on the Acropolis, their presence was even more noticeable.

Made by a previously unknown Chinese kingdom, the 3,000-year-old bronze Sanxingdui masks are shrouded in many unanswered questions and continue to intrigue and puzzle decades after their discovery. Sanxingdui MasksI had never even heard of or seen these masks until I was watching Civilizations, a BBC art history program released in 2018. They were so enigmatic and unusual. I was surprised to find out that they are from China’s Bronze Age.

E-Ladeinfrastruktur wächst kontinuierlich: Verdoppelung innerhalb eines JahresIn Würzburg verfolgt die Politik ambitionierte Klimaziele. Ein wichtiger Baustein soll der Umstieg vom Verbrennungsmotor auf einen elektrischen Antrieb sein, und zwar „schnell und in großer Zahl“, wie es in einer Mitteilung des Rathauses heißt. Eine Grundvoraussetzung für dieses Vorhaben ist die vorhandene Ladeinfrastruktur für E-Autos – auch im öffentlichen Raum.
