Kirkeby sculpture
In August 1996, a monumental brick sculpture by the Danish sculptor Per Kirkeby was inaugurated on the site of the historic Lohtor in Recklinghausen. The sculpture is 26 meters long, 4,50 meters high and 2,60 meters wide. With his brick sculptures, Per Kirkeby, one of the most important contemporary sculptors, expanded the traditional concept of sculpture. Sculpture and architecture become one. The plant is perfectly integrated into the cityscape. With its location on the wall, it alludes to the historic city wall and the city gates of the old town, but also takes up the shape of the memorial for victims of the world wars behind it.
