Berlin, Steel sculpture at German Chancellery, Berlin, Germany
The weathered steel sculpture stands 5.5 meters tall and spans 6 meters wide, creating strong geometric forms near the entrance of the Federal Chancellery.
Spanish artist Eduardo Chillida created this monumental work in 2000 for the newly constructed Federal Chancellery building after German reunification.
The sculpture represents the concept of German unity through its interconnected steel elements that form abstract spaces and structural relationships.
Visitors can view the sculpture from multiple angles during guided tours of the Chancellery grounds, which require advance registration and security clearance.
The sculpture incorporates specialized weathering steel that develops a protective rust patina, changing its appearance naturally over time without compromising structural integrity.
