8 Limestones by Ulrich Rückriem [ IMMA 29 OCTOBER 2018]A-145212

I have photographed these a number of times but this is the first time that I used a 90mm Macro lens which makes the cracks and holes more obvious and in my opinion somewhat distracting.

 

A few years ago I was advised that this was not an art installation and that it was in fact part of an expensive ventilation system. However, as I liked these dark blocks I began to believe that it was a modern sculpture and then one day I saw a sign nearby indicating that it was “8 Limestones” by Ulrich Rückriem.

 

Ulrich Rückriem (30 September 1938) is a German sculptor notable for his monumental stone sculptures. He lives and works in Cologne and London. His abstract works of art are often assigned to the style of minimalism and process art.

 

Many of the works of art of Rückriem are accessible to the public as public art, mostly in Germany, but also in Spain, France, England, Ireland to mention but a few.
