Fritz Köenigs Kugel - Der Bildhauer und der 11. September
Koënig's Sphere
The only work of art in or around the World Trade Center to have miraculously survived the terrorist attack of 9/11 is the monumental fountain sculpture "Kugelkaryatide," the creation of Bavarian sculptor Fritz Koenig. Although "The Sphere" survived, it is not undamaged. It bears heavy scars that make it an eloquent testimonial to the disaster. As the centerpiece of a memorial for the victims of 9/11, it will bear witness to that terrible day for generations to come. Koenig, born in 1924, is one of the most important and prominent German sculptor after WW2. "The Spere", 25 feet high, is cast in 52 bronze segments. In this documentary, we can see Koenig in New York before, during and after the confrontation with the remains of his sculpture between the rubble of Ground Zero.
