Arbeiten aus den Jahren 1939 bis 1971, Teufen 1972, p. 81 (ill.). We thank Cornelia Hesse-Honegger for confirming the authenticity of the work, Zurich, 27 April 2025. The Alfred Altherr Terrace is situated above the Strickhof water reservoir, built in 1955 and extended in 1971. The reservoir is located at Strickhofstrasse 80 in Zurich. During the extension, the Zurich Water Supply commissioned Gottfried Honegger in 1971 to design the square. He also created the fountain on the terrace, conceived around water extraction and the natural water cycle. Honegger deliberately designed the fountain not only as a work of art but also as a place for play and bathing. The sculpture offered here dates from the same period and may have served as a preliminary study for this fountain. * The full tax is charged on this item marked *, i.e. VAT is charged on the sum will be refunded to Purchasers providing a validly stamped export declaration.
