Description
Organic abstraction.
Alma's work is described as follows in the Westfälische Nachrichten (22 Oct. 2007):
Alma Wienhausen was already very familiar with the human body from her work in nursing medicine when she began working in sculpture in the 1950s. With her plaster and bronze portraits, she not only captured the appearance of people, but also their individual sparkle. She developed her work from concrete figuration to organic abstraction. Undated and untitled, her abstract bronzes are timeless and highly open to the viewer's associations.
Stadtpark Rheine
Rheine's Stadtpark contains around 30 artworks (*), most of which were placed on the occasion of two projects:
- Skulpturenforum Rheine 1988
To mark the city's 1150th anniversary in 1988, the Norddeutsche Bildhauergruppe Münster e.V. set up a sculpture exhibition, the "Skulpturenforum Rheine", in the Stadtpark. Some of the works remained in the city park.
- Sculpturenprojekt Stadtpark Rheine 2002
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Stadtpark Rheine and the Verein Stadtpark Rheine e.V., the
"Skulpturenprojekt Stadtpark Rheine 2002" took place. Some of the artists who took part in 1988 were invited to participate again.
Incidently, some works have been placed at other occasions.
All works are placed on our website, including the abstract ones.
