Umschauende
Umschauende stands in Hanover as a bronze statue created by German sculptor Kurt Lehmann in 1957. Its bronze surface carries the expressive, dynamic forms associated with Lehmann’s modern sculpture. Public art places this work within Hanover’s cultural landscape, where sculpture contributes to the city’s visible character.
Lehmann was born in Koblenz in 1905 and died in Hanover in 2000. He studied at Kunsthochschule Kassel before teaching at Leibniz University in Hanover. His career also brought the Rome Prize of the German Academy Villa Massimo. These details connect the sculpture with an artist whose work, teaching, and later life all reached Hanover. Its bronze material and 1957 creation date provide the clearest detail to carry away.
