Wim van der Weerd Untitled (1958)

The Parkflat was built between 1949 and 1958 and has twelve floors. The apartment building is located on Westzeedijk and overlooks Het Park. Before that time it was a high luxury residential flat and it forms the end of the block on the Westzeedijk. The design is by architect Ernest Groosman. He asked Wim van der Weerd, who was also originally an architect, to create a monumental work at the entrance of the Parkflat. The work consists of three shapes and a painting. The largest shape is blue and is mounted on the wall. A circle is saved. To the left of it is a smaller shape, which is also recessed and painted red inside. At the bottom right is a small shape in yellow cut out. The addition of color creates depth in the work, but the composition itself is simple and represents a fish. Behind the wall with recesses is a wall with a large mural, on which figurative birds in different colors are applied.
