About this artwork.

The University of Groningen commissioned Wladimir de Vries to create artwork for its new sports hall. In 1967, the mural was given a place on the outside wall at the entrance to the sports centre. De Vries designed a bronze contour of a gymnast. Her hair and body, which are incorporated in the brickwork, consist of roughly cut stones of red and yellow marble.
