Brunnentrog mit Relief Fischfang

From the depths of Segheria granite emerges the Brunnentrog mit Relief “Fischfang”. It’s a captivating sight. This isn’t just a trough. It’s a story carved in stone, placed here in 1927. The Brunnentrog mit Relief “Fischfang” sits proudly on its Iragna granite pedestal in Brupbacherplatz. The artists, Hermann Herter and Eduard Bick, brought this masterpiece to life in 1925. Imagine the scene they depicted. A bustling “Fischfang,” a fishing scene, frozen in time. The Brunnentrog mit Relief “Fischfang” isn’t just a static sculpture. It’s a functional piece, a drinking water fountain, offering cool Quellwasser. The trough itself measures 81.0 x 280.0 x 280.0 cm, a significant presence. It rests on a 30.0 x 322.0 x 322.0 cm pedestal, raising the artwork for all to admire. The entire structure, from base to the top of the trough, reaches an impressive 111.0 cm in height and stretches 322.0 cm in both width and length. This substantial piece truly dominates its space. The Brunnentrog mit Relief “Fischfang” is a testament to Zurich’s dedication to art and practicality. It was acquired for the city in 1926, a year before its installation. It stands as a piece of “Kunst im öffentlichen Raum,” art in the public space, accessible to all.
