Prince Frederick Arthur of Homburg, General of Cavalry Sculpture

Berlin


Frank Stella's otherworldly Prince Frederick Arthur of Homburg, General of the Cavalry (1999) is made of white-silver aluminium, steel carbon and fibreglass and explores the relationships of space, colour and form in a three-dimensional setting.

It's part of the Daimler collection of sculptures dotted around Potsdamer Platz.
