Statue triplet
The three-part statue group is a 32-meter-high, three-part sculpture made of enamel on steel, created by Max Bill in 1989 . It belongs to the Daimler art collection .
The color gradients follow a constructive-mathematical law based on the number three. The colors are made up of the classic nine-part color wheel (yellow, red and blue with two adjacent shades each). Since each column begins with a different color value, the spectra are not synchronized , but shifted counterclockwise by three modules upwards. Bill used narrow, silvery, shiny steel bands to separate the modules so that the colors do not overlap .
In its floor plan , the sculpture refers to the Mercedes star . Until the end of April 2006 it stood in front of the former DaimlerChrysler corporate headquarters in Stuttgart-Möhringen . It has been in front of the Mercedes-Benz Center in Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt since the beginning of May 2006 .
