HANS PONTILLER
Body Images

Few artists worked in such a range of different materials, techniques, and styles as the Tyrolean sculptor Hans Pontiller (1887-1970), whose family roots are in East Tyrol. The exhibition presents a cross-section of his oeuvre, ranging from arts and crafts to wood sculptures and modern bronze sculptures.

Central to his sculptural work was the human body with all its forms of expression. These body images also include masterful and psychologically conceived portraits. In this exhibition curated by Dr. Ursula Marinelli, newly discovered sculptures by the artist are also presented to the public.
