Sculpture by Arik Levy adorns traffic circle in Friedrichsdorf
Friedrichsdorf, 28.11.2020 - Arnold AG has taken over sponsorship of the traffic circle at the intersection of Färberstraße and Max-Planck-Straße at its headquarters and will display works from its own production on a rotating basis in future. The sculpture "Rock Cube 240" by Israeli artist Arik Levy has now been installed.
"We want to create a public space for artists and provide all those interested in art with exciting insights into the world of metal sculptures," explains Uwe Arnold, CEO of metalworking specialist Arnold AG. His idea is to present different works at regular intervals and thus support artistic diversity in the cityscape. "I hope to give visitors and residents of the city a treat and show them what is being created at this location. Often you don't even notice it," says Arnold.
The company has been building works of art for over 50 years. It took just under 500 hours to complete the 1840 kilogram "Rock Cube 240" made of Corten steel. To create the rusty-looking surface, it was also exposed to the weather for six weeks and artificially sprayed with water.
What is special about the artist's design is that even though the shape does not correspond to a classic cube, each side view shows a square measuring 2.40 meters x 2.40 meters. Arnold has a friendly relationship with the artist Arik Levy: "We have a very close relationship and he knows that we do everything we can to implement his ideas precisely."
Arik Levy, who is represented by Galerie Scheffel, lives and works in Paris. He became world-famous with his "Rock Pieces". As part of the Blickachsen 12 exhibition (2019 ), he created a site-specific work entitled "Giant Log" for the Kurpark in Bad Homburg and four of his famous "Rocks" were installed in Kronberg and Frankfurt.
