Background
“Kelch, symmetrisch” is an iron sculpture by Jimmy Fred Schneider from 1978. It stands in the Tierpark Dählhölzli behind the Vivarium, near the moose enclosure. Schneider was a painter and iron sculptor who had been a friend of Bernhard Luginbühl since his youth. Under Luginbühl's influence he turned to iron sculpture. In 1979 he took part in building a shrine for the centenary of the Kunstmuseum Bern.
