Information
A decision of exemplary status was made concerning the commissioning of art projects for public space in Lower Austria in 1991. For the first time, an attempt was made to award artists commissions for specific concepts in categories of interior design usually associated with aesthetic issues but seldom with artistic ones.
'Holz' (Wood) consists of 3 parts that have been hewn and sanded all the way around. The exposed cut ends show the rings, layers, in the wood, a rare red-brown hardwood. The outer layers have been preserved on two of the pieces, the difference in tissue can be seen in the yellowish colouring. The wood has turned grey from weathering. The pieces of exotic tropical hardwood used for the piece came to Austria as packaging material.
