Tour New Mercedes-Benz Museum,
Stuttgart Untertürkheim
In about 1989/90, Mercedes-Benz acquired a group of eleven large sculptures for their site in Untertürkheim, Stuttgart, and for the public areas at their Möhringen, Stuttgart, headquarters, including key works by Walter de Maria, Norbert Kricke and Klaus Staudt.
This was the start of a collection of large sculptures that now includes about 30 works, associated not just with their various locations but above all with the company identity. Two important works here are the column sculptures by Heinz Mack and Max Bill, 42 meter and 30 meter high respectively, close to the new Mercedes-Benz Museum.
