Georg Baselitz’s sculpture „Armalamor” welcomes visitors to the rotunda at the entrance to the library. The name of the sculpture, which was roughly carved out of elm wood using a chainsaw and axe, is a play on words referring to four artists admired by Baselitz: Hans Arp, Henri Matisse, Henri Laurens and Henry Moore.
