Huub and Adelheid Kortekaas present themselves as artists duo since 1999, although they actually have worked together since their marriage in 1969. Huub Kortekaas was born in 1935 in Westland as the son of a gardener. He initially chose the profession of teacher, but made at the age of 25 his first sculpture, a large statue of Erasmus for the Radboud University at Nijmegen. Between 1960 and 1964 he worked in the Old Tower in Winssen and in 1965 he moved to Castle Doddendaal in Ewijk. Adelheid van Swelm, born in 1947 in Nijmegen, studied garden architecture with a passion for architecture. In 1970 their first joint artproject ''The Circle of Angels'' arose, a colorful environment of large polyester statues. Since 1974 their work has the theme of 'The Plant' as a metaphor for man. In 1999 they built ''The Tempelhof''. Since 2002 they work on the monumental work of art, ''The Spiritual Garden'', an imagination of the five world religions. The in 1984 initiated project ''Anima Mundi'' is in development for further realization. An already realised large project of them is ''The Unifying Spiritual Field of the World'' (1991). In between these major projects they made many monumental sculptures, which are often made of corten steel. Their works are found mainly in the Netherlands but also in Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, France, England, Dubai and Palestine. The philosophy behind their work is in 2012 expressed in the ''Manifest Utopia: Life as Work of art''. == External links == * Kingdom of the Netherlands, NRO Palestine Territories (The Angel of Unity' at the Garden of Nations in Ramallah'' ) *Audisen, Christel; SABC News (''Golden Plant Nelson Mandela'' ) *Seth, Shalini; Gulfnews (''Art in daily life'' ) *(''Huub en Adelheid Kortekaas website'' ) *Beelden van Gelderland (''Huub en Adelheid Kortekaas'' ) *Galeries.nl (''Huub en Adelheid Kortekaas'' ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huub en Adelheid Kortekaas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
