Bruno Gironcoli. Die Skulpturen 1956-2007

The Sculptures 1956–2007 provides a comprehensive survey of the sculptural work of Bruno Gironcoli, spanning more than five decades of artistic production.

The publication traces the development of Gironcoli’s practice from early, more figurative works to the monumental large-scale sculptures that define his later career.

Gironcoli’s sculptures merge organic forms with industrial materials and processes. Elements that evoke the human body, mechanical components, and architectural structures are fused into hybrid constructions that oscillate between vulnerability and power, intimacy and monumentality. His works resist fixed interpretation, instead generating complex fields of tension that touch on themes of desire, protection, aggression, and transformation.

The book situates Gironcoli’s oeuvre within a broader art-historical context, highlighting the consistency with which he developed a distinctive formal language. Rich visual documentation presents the sculptures in various stages of production and exhibition, underscoring Gironcoli’s significance for Austrian and international sculpture of the late twentieth century.
