Some of these are in parks, some in the front of large buildings, others are almost dumped unceremoniously in a corner of a free space between two roads. None are really the center of attention. All are non-representational.

This Art is Grave
My recent visit to a cemetery resulted in a slew of public art, some better than others. While I’m guessing that the middle one and the right one were on the grave of cat lovers, I know for sure that the bird on the grave on the left was made by the artist who is buried here himself.
This is the deco at the graveside of Sepp Herberger, the German national football coach from 1954 (when the national team could still win major championships).
Schwetzingen
On a visit to the town of Schwetzingen near Heidelberg I looked up and saw this knight gracing a chimney on a roof. Without my camera’s zoom I wouldn’t have seen the details.
These stone sculptures were in the garden of a restaurant.
And this little fellow stands in a public square, watching asparagus being sold.
Wire Art
I happen to be at the local cemetery today and noticed this sculpture. I think it is new but I’m not there often so I might be wrong.
It reminded me of other wire sculptures I’ve seen over the years:
The next is really far too small and only displayed on our shelf in the living room but I couldn’t let this theme go without adding the tortoise we bought in Zimbabwe. After all, she stood in the street with many of her brothers and sisters before we decided to take her home.
The Seed’s Been Sown
Marsha and Cee have started a new photographic challenge: Photographic Public Art Challenge.
Marsha kicked off with some beautiful freeway art. Let’s make this seed grow and develop!
The house front is a mural on an assisted living centre for people with disabilities called “Pilgerhaus”, pilgrim’s house.
