A mouth-watering staircase

   The magnificent Holsteiner stairs in Wuppertal, Germany captivate and exhilarate me. I wish that public art was a common experience in every city and town. This installation by German artist, Horst Gläsker, was imagined and realized as part of the 7 Stairs Arts Festival, where seven artists were asked to respond to seven staircases. You might notice the text on the individual steps. Gläsker assigned to each stair, a word used to describe human relationships. You can visit Gläsker's website here.
