What do you think these bricks have witnessed? Right here, in front of us, stand the Backsteinskulpturen. They are two silent sentinels crafted from humble brick by the artist Per Kirkeby. The Backsteinskulpturen were unveiled in 1987 as part of the Skulptur Projekte, a renowned art exhibition that graces Münster every decade. The sculptures, a testament to Kirkeby’s distinctive style, are not mere adornments to the Schlossplatz. They are a conversation starter, a bold statement in brick and mortar. One, a towering presence, reaches for the sky. The other, low and sprawling, seems to embrace the earth. Both are stark yet strangely compelling, inviting contemplation on the interplay of art, space, and material. They stand as a testament to Münster’s enduring commitment to public art, a vibrant thread woven into the fabric of the city.
