VENUS  FROM  MINDEN

height 14' ( 4,50 m ), 1,5 t high-grade steel,
installed in 2008
Johannes Wesling Clinic in Minden / Germany

Johannse Wesling (1598-1649), the clinic's
namesake, published the pathbreaking
anatomy book, "Syntagma Anatomicum"
in Padua. The baroque portrayal of the
circulatory system found in this book was
cut sixteen times in high-grade steel and
connected in the middle.
The bizarre form takes on both figurative
and floral qualities, synthesizing anatomy
and botany in an abstract sculpture.
