Here you can read an article, which was published on the website of Werder Bremen on 25th October 2004 on the occasion of the picture´s delivery to the management of Werder Bremen.

Cultural moments in the Werder Tower: The managers Klaus Allofs and Manfred Müller welcomed the artist Ferencz Olivier and thanked him for his extraordinary “Werder-Rhombus”, which from now on will beautify the lobby of the fifth floor.

The two-metres-high “Werder-W”, into which diverse newspaper headlines and images from players and  responsible persons from the champion-season were integrated, was created within six weeks. Striking is the artist´s unique style. “It is my aim to design my artwork like valuable cultural artefacts in a museum”, Ferencz Olivier describes his work. “This symbolism fitted very well to the Werder-Rhombus, which also stands for a great tradition and an eventful history”, said the 42 years-old Münster-resident , who concentrates on the creation of relief-like figuratives and word marks.

Ferencz Olivier caught the Werder management´s attention by diverse artworks that the artist had created about football, among others the official picture for the FIFA´s 100st anniversary, which hangs in the world association´s headquarters in Zurich.
