This mobile sculpture by Bernhard Luginbuehl found the right background in West Berlin. “Atlas,” a 40ton steel composition, was set in front of the West German National Gallery during a show of iron sculptures and construction sketches by the sculptor. Any visitor or passerby could set the colossus in motion and let the ball roll by inserting a one DM coin. The sculptor gave the proceeds for the extension of a West Berlin children’s playground.
