Skimming Q2 How has Cherry Column influenced the structural redesign of the square? column thoroughfare chaotic vibrant jumble rack monumental shaft capital candlestick chalice momentum pedestrian Find words which mean: • a road or path forming a route between two places: • the top part of a column: Cherry Column by Thomas Schütte The journey by bicycle began at Münster ’s main train station. There, I encountered Cherry Column by German sculptor Thomas Schütte. Schütte created it after being inspired by a red vehicle.When he visited Harsewinkel Plaza in the 1980s, it was still a thoroughfare and parking area for cars, with a chaotic yet vibrant jumble of bicycle racks, parking meters, a few trees, and telephone booths. In the middle of the square, Schütte placed a monumental column of sandstone from the local area. The column consists of a base and shaft with a rounded capital that resembles a board game figure, a candlestick, or a chalice. A shiny pair of cherries rests on the capital. During the decades that Cherry Column has been there, it has not only become a symbol of the city but has also provided the momentum for a structural redesign of the square. Thanks to the sculpture’s popularity, the parking lot where the sculpture is displayed has been transformed into a pedestrian area. Cherry Column has increased in value as an artistic creation while also enabling people to participate in more cultural activities in the square. Cherry Column 5 10 15 14 I Unit 1
