HA Schult: "AutoDom" Made From Car Parts From Ford Models Fiesta and Fusion Builds a Bridge From Cologne to New York
COLOGNE, Germany, October 17 -- The "AutoDom" sculpture, a piece of art created by action artist HA Schult together with fifteen Ford-Werke GmbH apprentices in Cologne using parts from Ford Fiesta and Ford Fusion cars, is set to build a bridge between Cologne and New York.

The sculpture, which stands five metres tall and weighs 220 kilos, is on display as of today for two months at Cologne Bonn Airport, after which time it will be flown to New York. HA Schult announced today that the sculpture would be erected against the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline in spring 2007 before being auctioned to raise money for the Bloomberg Foundation set up by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The proceeds from the auction will benefit the children and widows of fire-fighters who lost their lives following the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in 2001.
