Mae West was planned in 2002 for the altered Effnerplatz after construction of a tunnel for the so-called Mittlerer Ring. Following highly controversial discussions about size, shape and cost both within the city council and among the citizens, the sculpture was built between October 2010 and January 2011. Since December 2011, the Munich tram runs through it.
Mae West is located at the center of the Effnerplatz [de] (Effner square) in Munich-Bogenhausen, at the intersection of Mittlerer Ring, Bülowstraße and Effnerstraße. The sculpture stands on top of the Effnertunnel constructed for the Mittlerer Ring. East of it, the Arabellapark with its skyscrapers is located. Nearby several stops of the Munich tram and Bus system are located.
Historyedit
Idea, planning and developmentedit
In 2002, due to the planning of the Effnertunnel, the newly available square was selected as the side of a new art project and eight artists were asked to develop ideas for this area. In the end, Rita McBride's idea won against drafts by, among others, Thomas Schütte and Dennis Oppenheim.[2]
Due to the size of 52 m (171 ft) (previously 60 m) and the projected costs of € 1.5m, the sculpture was highly controversial. Munich mayor Christian Ude was the most prominent critic, comparing the sculpture to an egg cup.[3] After heated discussions, Munich's city council voted 40–35 to build the sculpture, with the co-ruling Alliance 90/The Greens party joining the opposition parties to vote for the sculpture.[3]
