Falling goalie (Vallende keeper)
Dieuwke (Djoeke) van Vliet
About this artwork.
On the outside wall of the club building of football club Astrea you can see an abstracted falling goalkeeper. The statue is made of zinc, which was soldered by the artist. Van Vliet made Falling goalie in 1969, for her final exam at the Minerva Academy. The Municipality of Groningen gave her the threshold prize for this sculpture – an incentive prize for emerging artists.
