Österreichischer Skulpturenpark

The Austrian Sculpture Park, located 7 km south of Graz in Austria, extends over 7 ha of luxuriant gardens designed by the famous Swiss landscape architect Dieter Kienast.

The collection is made up of over 60 works of contemporary art – each selected on the basis of its individual merit – and includes sculptures acquired by the park and pieces on permanent loan.

Eighty percent of the works are by Austrian artists. These include Torso II by Fritz Wotruba and Atlantis by Herbert Boeckls. Tobías Rehberger and Susana Solano are among the international sculptors represented.
