Annotation:
The bronze sculpture "Genius - der Fliegende" is placed as the centre figure at the Cemetry Meisenhard, Olten. The sculpture was originally placed as a deposit at the garden of the Kollegienhaus of the University Basel.
A comparable, but smaller torso to "Genius" is in possession of the Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau.
