materials steel and stone: Corten steel contrasts with such differently-colored stones as
diabase dolomite granite limestone or alabaster. The book accompanies a double exhibition.
The large-format sculptures can be seen in the Flottmann-Hallen and the Skulpturenpark in Herne
while the medium-sized and smaller sculptures draft drawings and wax paintings are on display
in the Kunstmuseum Gelsenkirchen. In addition the group of leaning sculptures forms a focal
point at the venues in both cities. The sculptor Enrique Asensi (b. 1950) lives and works in
Barcelona and Cologne. Asensi's works can be found in numerous international collections and
he is also present in the public space with his sculptures in both Germany and Spain.
