Ewerdt Hilgemann
“Dancers (Tango)”

Stainless & Corten Steel
May 2018
North of Leawood City Hall along Roe Avenue

“Dancers” is a two- piece work of art, one of stainless steel and one of Cor-Ten steel. Each piece is a 20 foot tall rectangular box 4 foot x 4 foot wide. Each section weighs about one ton.

“Dancers” was originally created for a temporary seven-sculpture exhibition, and installed on Park Avenue in New York City during the summer of 2014 at the intersection of 59th, just as the Paley pieces had been earlier. “Dancers” is a prime example of Hilgemann’s signature implosion style.

Ewerdt Hilgemann is a German artist living and working in the Netherlands. His contemporary work has been his focus since 1985, when he created his first “implosion” piece. For the artist, the implosion represents the inward spiral of energy to reach the core and mystery of matter, the ultimate beauty of creation.

Hilgemann’s contemporary work has been his focus since 1985, when he created his first “implosion” piece. Hilgemann works in steel, fabricating perfect, geometrically pure forms, welded and polished to very high standards. Hilgemann then vacuums the form with a pump and creates a new form that has visual reference to the original form. For the artist, the implosion represents the inward spiral of energy to reach the core and mystery of matter, the ultimate beauty of creation.

Hilgemann’s work is featured in public art collections throughout Europe, Asia and the United States, including Chicago and Beverly Hills. Hilgemann has pieces in private collections throughout the world.
