Mann in Drehtür

Mann in Drehtür, Man in Revolving Door by Waldemar Otto, Frankfurt am Main

Mann in Drehtür (Man in Revolving Door) by Waldemar Otto, 1986
Bockenheimer Warte
Frankfurt, October 2002

“Waldemar Otto's bronze Man in a Revolving Door has stood in front of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University at Bockenheimer Warte since 1986. On market days, the sculpture is surrounded by vegetable stalls, shoppers and students hurrying to their seminars. The two male bronze figures are separated from each other by a brass plate that prevents any communication. So here are two larger-than-life figures standing close together and yet not meeting.” (Mann in Drehtür, Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Frankfurt)
