Art in Neuperlach

Neuperlach is home to a number of outdoor sculptures and installations. Some have fallen victim to various restructurings, such as the sundial at the former Plett Centre. Four cone-shaped bodies made of concrete have stood on the corner of Ständlerstraße and Heinrich-Wieland-Straße since 1999. The sculpture ‘Only man is the place of images’ was created by Jai-Young Park from South Korea. The ‘Blue Spiral’ by Louis Constation has been on display on Heinrich-Wieland-Straße since 2001, while the ‘Object in the Lake’ by artist Albert Hiens can be admired in Perlacher Park. The ‘Space Churn’ by George M. Rickey has been a landmark in Neuperlach since 1972. It originally stood at the Plett-Zentrum, then at Hanns-Seidel-Platz until 2018; the artwork can currently be found behind the PEP shopping centre at the eastern end of the residential ring road. The artwork ‘Legung’ by artist Adrian Maryniak, also known as ‘Spatzennest’, also had to be relocated due to the construction site at Hanns-Seidel-Platz. The most unusual art project is certainly the floor installation ‘Munich Depression’ by American artist Michael Heizer from 1968: a pit 30 metres in diameter and five metres deep. ‘Munich Depression’ was built over after just four weeks.
