Belgian artist Pol Bury’s Water Sculpture is the most recent of several fountains celebrating Montecatini’s deep connection with its renowned hot springs. Installed in 2004 at the Thermal Park near the former Torretta Plant, this work has an interesting history. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

It was in fact exhibited as early as the 1970s by the artist at the Guggenheim in New York, only to be generously donated by the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Pistoia e Pescia.<\/p>\n\n

The modern forms of Bury’s sculpture recall Japanese artist Susumu Shingu’s Water Duet, located adjacent to the Tettuccio Plant. Both works feature metal cylinders whose movement, activated by hydraulic force, creates delicate sound effects. Here, too, the sound of water and evocative melody come together in a harmonious hymn to Montecatini’s prodigious hot springs. <\/p>\n\n
