Waldfrieden Sculpture Park
The Waldfrieden Sculpture Park is a sculpture park by the English sculptor Tony Cragg in Wuppertal , in which numerous sculptures by other well-known artists are shown, some as loans. The facility , which is run as a private museum, is operated by a non-profit foundation , the Cragg Foundation , which has existed since 2005 .
Location and description of the site
The park, which covers an area of 14 hectares, is located in the Hesselnberg district of Barmer . The namesake of today's site is the Villa Waldfrieden or "Villa Herberts", the former residence of the chemical entrepreneur Kurt Herberts , who lived there from the late 1940s until his death in 1989. The garden architecture and routing are based on the plans that the architect Franz Krause had designed for Herberts at the same time as the villa was built. It is a mixed deciduous forest dominated by the common beech tree with over fifty other tree and shrub species. These include yew trees , holly trees , mountain maples , ash trees , larches and Douglas firs . In addition to the existing visual axes , new ones have been created for the presentation of the exhibits since 2006.
Starting from a serpentine road, the site extends over part of the Christbusch forest area . In addition to the villa, there are three exhibition halls of different ages and the excursion restaurant Café Podest .
The around 40 sculptures in the outdoor area are set up in such a way that the viewer has a clear view of the respective work of art. In addition, if possible, they are spatially separated from one another so that they can work independently.
Origin and development
Acquisition and preparation of the site
In 2006, Tony Cragg acquired the park with the listed villa, which was overgrown after Herbert's death , in order to exhibit his own works as well as the works of other artists in a sculpture park. Cragg draws his concept for the design of the park from his understanding of nature and the knowledge of natural science. The model and inspiration was the classic English landscape garden and Land Art , which characterize the sculpture park. Cragg is opposed to an aesthetic dichotomization in which culture is played off against nature. He therefore defines culture as Second Nature , the result of evolution and human creativity. Accordingly, Cragg tries to bring modern man back into natural wholeness. In order to achieve this, he developed a presentation concept in which art can be shown in three ways: In the green cube ( cube , cube) for the outdoor exhibition with a corresponding seasonal change in light, the mood and the space for the viewer, then the white cube for works of art, which are shown in a hall with whitewashed window panes and in the diffuse light generated thereby, and the glass cube (glass cube), a cubic hall in which clear panes look outside and an undamped natural light incidence for those there enable exhibited works of art. The oval exhibition hall in the upper part of the park, completed in 2017, is not part of this concept.
Opening of the park
The park was opened in September 2008. Works by Eduardo Chillida , Mario Merz and Jean Dubuffet have been shown in a newly built exhibition hall by the Wuppertal architect Rudolf W. Hoppe ; Works by John Chamberlain were on view from September 2009.
In August 2009, the then Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Jürgen Rüttgers , the State Secretary for Culture Hans-Heinrich Grosse-Brockhoff and the Mayor of Wuppertal, Peter Jung von Cragg, were welcomed as prominent visitors in the park .
Area swap and expansion of the park
In 2012, Tony Cragg acquired an approx. 5 hectare wooded area south of the sculpture park from the city of Wuppertal in exchange for a wooded area on the other side of Buschstrasse in order to set up an extension of the park. The old network of paths in the forest was removed and new paths were set up in the now fenced forest. The hiking trails that previously ran through the forest, the Wupperweg and the Residenzenweg , had to be relocated. A second exhibition hall was built on the extension site in 2013 and opened on September 20, 2013.
In May 2013 the sculpture park was included in the European Garden Network (EGHN). Before that, he had been a member of the Street Art Garden between the Rhine and the Maas for several years .
Since the area around the sculpture park is characterized by narrow, winding streets with buildings on both sides, transporting the sculptures occasionally causes problems. The 6.5-ton sculpture “Caldera”, which like most of Cragg's sculptures was made in the Düsseldorf art foundry workshop of his colleague Karl-Heinz Schmäke , had to be transported at night at the end of May 2013, so that both lanes of the roads required for a special vehicle could be blocked.
Third exhibition hall
A third exhibition hall in a round shape was opened in October 2017. This building is located in the extended forest area of the sculpture park.
The Cragg Foundation
The Cragg Foundation is a non-profit general foundation based in Wuppertal. It was founded in 2005 by the Cragg family and legally recognized on December 13, 2005. The Cragg Foundation is listed in the register of foundations of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia under the order number 1160. The foundation is represented externally by the board of directors , which includes Tatjana Cragg as chairwoman of the board, Tony Cragg as deputy chairman and Michael Brämer .
In accordance with its foundation purpose “Art and Culture in General”, the Cragg Foundation acts as the sponsor of the Waldfrieden Sculpture Park, which it operates as a private museum - similar to the DKM Museum in Duisburg or the Julia Stoschek Collection in Düsseldorf .
