A restless traveler, Franz Ackermann (Neumarkt St. Veit, Germany, 1963) sustains his artistic research through continuous voyages, particularly to large cities in Asia, America and Europe. The artist is interested in the forms that structure urban organization, searching for the signs and emblems that shape public language in the contemporary world.

The work in the collection, Naherholungsbegiet (Public Park), 2000, belongs to the recent Helicopters series, oil paintings on canvas punctuated by aerial views of urban centers rendered like motors that radiate energy.
