Present Continuous, Modern sculpture in Skulpturenpark Pinakothek, Munich, Germany.
Description
Present Continuous is a modern sculpture in Skulpturenpark Pinakothek featuring a figure mounted on a red post. The work rises 380 centimeters high and stands along Gabelsberger Strasse near the main museum building.
History
The sculpture was created by Dutch artist Henk Visch and installed in 2007 as the park's collection expanded. It marks a period of growth for this art collection in the heart of Munich.
Culture
The figure's downward gaze creates a connection with the Egyptian Museum beneath the ground. This vertical relationship links two distinct spaces together.
Practical
The work is easily accessible via Gabelsberger Strasse and viewable from the outside at any time. The sculpture garden itself is open in most seasons and offers a public space to explore.
Did you know?
The red post is not merely a structural support but symbolically connects surface activities with underground exhibition spaces. This detail is often overlooked, though it forms a key part of the artistic intention.
