151 The Art Collections – living testimony of the University's history Roland Fuhrmann: “Spektralsymphonie der Elemente” (Spectral Symphony of the Elements) (2010), 99 elements with 1,433 glass tubes, 70 cm each tube, H: 1,500 cm, W: 335 cm, D: 300 cm, Chemie-­ Neubau, inv. no. KB94313 “’Spectral fingerprint’ is the line spectrum mentioned, typical for each chemical element. The emission lines of No. 1 hydrogen to No. 99 einsteinium float as colored glass tubes in the area and change the logic of this natural law into an impressionistic space painting. Color tones are transformed into a spectral symphony. When crossing, the shift of colors becomes dynamic, the spectral lines mix themselves and new chemical compounds will be created.” (Roland Fuhrmann)
