The Caring Hand – Sculpture in Glarus, Switzerland by Eva Oertli and Beat Huber
By Vidar
Artists ‘Eva Oertli and Beat Huber
The name of the sculpture is The Hand (dubbed The Caring Hand by many). It is about five feet tall and was cast in concrete by Eva Oertli and Beat Huber in 2004 as part of an exhibition of three-dimensional works in urban space in Glarus, Switzerland.
In their artistic statement, the creators said, “With our sculpture we do not want to set a monument to the gardening profession, but rather point out that we, as a great human race, are responsible for our living space.”
