First GoetheanumFirst Goetheanum

The location
The first Goetheanum was made of wood and built out of two semi-spheres. Under the smaller dome the wooden sculpture was meant to be installed at the far end of the stage. Due to lucky circumstances it had not stood there yet when the building burnt down on New Year's Eve 1922/23.

Today the sculpture of The "Representative of Humanity" , also known as the "Group", stands in a separate room of the second Goetheanum in Dornach near Basel (Switzerland).

About the making of the new photographies

In 2002 new pictures of The "Representative of Humanity" were produced in collaboration with the planning commission of the Goetheanum. These images admit a new view on this work of art in as of yet unknown perspectives and details.
