Sculpture Park Neugraben
- Art in public space -
No, they are not normal sheep and no, not only the images on their bodies are unusual. Because that's what happens when sculptures in public space are enriched with color - sometimes successful, sometimes less. As with switch boxes, which show pictures of each place.
The special thing here is that it is a horned Heidschnucke. An animal species that can be found in the surroundings of Neugraben as far as the Lüneburg Heath. But this real and unpainted short-tailed sheep species should only exist in the Neugraben area and should promote the identity of Neugraben. This is why the Gymnasium Süderelbe under the artistic direction of Tanja Jaffal was involved in the implementation in 2015.
These approx. 100cm x 35cm large + approx. 100cm high pretty Schnucken, with a price of 750, - euro, were promoted by the order fund of the district advisory board Neugraben as well as the district assembly Harburg. This project was decided by the South Elbe Regional Committee on 09.04.14.
