One of the hundred works of art in the Gernot Huber park, in Granadilla / DA

Gernot Huber died in Germany at 92 years of age, according to his wife reported yesterday, during the last 15 years of her life, Ina Huber-Stomberg, who from now on will be in charge of running the two foundations of thes sculpture parks located in Los Cardones (Granadilla de Abona) and Hamburg.

The German patron and sculptor set himself as a personal goal not only to fill the parks with his own creations but also to grant scholarships to young international talents to carry out their majestic works in the parks, in such a way that today in the Gernot Huber Park in Granadilla we can find more than a hundred sculptures that coexist in a chasnero landscape full of tabaibas and cardones.

After successfully completing his professional life, which he developed as a painter, lithographer and graphic designer, he was able to fully dedicate himself to sculpture. Leaving numerous creations in Germany and Tenerife. In both parks he took great care to integrate art and architecture with local nature.

At the age of 91 he made his last sculpture in Tenerife / DA

In 1997 Gernot Huber transferred all his property to the Gernot Huber-Stiftung in Germany and in 2014 the Tenerife sculpture park was transferred to the Fundación Canaria Gernot Huber. The two foundations are managed exclusively with the personal assets of Gernot Huber. His second wife Ina Huber-Stomberg is in charge of continuing to lead the two foundations, maintaining and expanding their legacy together with his son Alexander Stomberg who acts as a bridge between the German and Canarian foundation.

Huber had a full life almost to the end of it, making his last sculpture in Tenerife, at the age of 91, which he called Make America Great Again, which can be visited this Sunday (from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.) coinciding with the open doors that offers the park every second Sunday of each month through April.
