Symphony in Red
Symphony in Red stands in Hanover, Germany, as a public sculpture by John Raymond Henry. Its wheelchair-accessible setting places monumental art within Hanover’s cultural landscape. The work gives you a chance to encounter Henry’s approach to large-scale public sculpture in an urban setting.
The Toto Lotto Foundation of Lower Saxony commissioned the sculpture, linking it to regional support for public art. Henry worked with industrial materials and became known for sculptures reaching 60 to 70 feet. Born in 1943, he died in 2022 after a career spanning several decades. His artistic work appears in museum, corporate, public and private collections across the world.
Henry also helped found the artist-run Construct gallery and curated exhibitions in the United States and Europe. That broader commitment to art surrounds this Hanover landmark with a career beyond sculpture.
