Perhaps their most important work is the realisation of a sculpture garden devoted to the Five religions of the world.

The garden is filled with symbolism and numbers which have a relation with the religions they are presenting in their garden. It is impressive, but Kortekaas is familiar with scaping his surroundings and making his sculptures part of the landscape. I just added an early 1967 catalogue to my inventory and it shows the strength and power of his sculptures which are placed and arranged in a dutch landscape.

When you have a chance to visit tis garden….do not hesitate to devote half an hour of your time to this peaceful place, because it is kind of magical.
