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).

  1. With a little rewording the bird sentence could read, “I know for sure that the bird on the grave on the left was made by the artist who buried himself here.” How wonderful that he carved a sculpture that could be used on the grave. My favorite is the cat, of course. šŸ™‚ Thanks for sharing these, Elke. šŸ™‚
