The sculpture Park Erich Engelbrecht is located at the Château des Fougis, 03220 Thionne, in France, displaying monumental works of the german artist Erich Engelbrecht. The park is set in the gardens and former farming fields of the Château des Fougis, bought by the artist in 2001, with the idea of creating an open exhibition of his monumental sculptures.
Erich Engelbrecht
Erich Engelbrechjt (Bielefeld, 27.10.1928 - Vichy, France, 21.7.2011) was a german artist having left a multitude of works on the filds of painting, graphics, tapestry, sculpture, architecture and poetry.
Erich had originally studied engineering, with a post-graduation engineering and economics. Already an consulting engineer, he decided to study philosophy and art history, and moved to Münich, where he meet his future wife, a study mate.
Construction
The first sculptures arrived in 2002 and until his dead in 2011 he managed to create an open exhibition of 29 large sculptures (the last one arriving just after his death).
All sculptures were produced in Germany and transported per road in Fougis, where they were finally assembled. Two sculptures positioned at the entrace of the park were produced during the 1980's, came to the present place after originally garding the entrance of his property in Germany for nearly a decade and being in exhibition in Hamburg-Altona (Altonaer Balkon) for nearly another decade. These two sculptures belong to his wife's private collection.
Some sculptures are distributed around the Château des Fougis, and others follow a path designed by the artist.
