Der marokkanische "United Buddy Bear" ist eine Verbindung und eine Begegnung zwischen Afrika, Sahara, Marokko und Deutschland (Berlin). Unten erkennt man das Gelbe der Sahara mit einem Übergang zu Marokko, mit einem Tor in der Mauer. Übergehend zu Ornamenten und Mosaiken erreicht man eine Brücke als Symbol für die Begegnung und die Verbindung (als Gürtel mit Hosenträger dargestellt). Oben wird der Norden gezeigt mit Hochhäusern, Türmen, Industrie und Technik. Der metallische Eindruck am Mund und an den Händen soll der Interpretation jedes einzelnen Betrachters überlassen bleiben.

Mohamed Ali Saoudi, Master Scholar, Joseph Beuys, Rolf Sackenheim, Kunstakademie Düsseldorf

Joseph Heinrich Beuys  12 May 1921 – 23 January 1986) was a German Fluxus, happening, and performance artist as well as a sculptor, installation artist, graphic artist, art theorist, and pedagogue.

His extensive work is grounded in concepts of humanism, social philosophy and anthroposophy; it culminates in his "extended definition of art" and the idea of social sculpture as a gesamtkunstwerk, for which he claimed a creative, participatory role in shaping society and politics. His career was characterized by passionate, even acrimonious public debate. He is now regarded as one of the most influential artists of the second half of the 20th century.

Rolf Sackenheim (September 26, 1921 – January 9, 2006) was a German artist and a graphic designer.


In 1940 Sackenheim studied arts at Meisterschule für Deutsches Handwerk (Masterschool of German craft) in Trier. The following year, he was drafted for military service, but in 1942 was retired due to a serious wound he had received. In 1943 he began to study art at Academy of Fine Arts, Karlsruhe. After a two-year-break in the years 1947–1950 he continued his studies under the instruction of Karl Hubbuch. In 1950 he moved to Eifel, where he painted in watercolors, did drawings and worked out his theoretical statements on painting. Two years later he went to Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he was awarded "Master scholar" (Meisterschüler) of Otto Coester in the same year.
