Sculptures and objects

The collection of sculptures, statues and objects of the LENTOS Kunstmuseum includes about 450 exhibits.

The earliest works are from the period of Austrian Expressionism. In addition to a bronze head by Egon Schiele (1916-1918) and the bronze sculpture Burning Man created in 1922 by Anton Hanák, there are examples of German Expressionism by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, which make up the historical foundation of the collection.
An example of realistic post-war art in Austria is Alfred Hrdlicka's Gladiator (model: 1965, cast 1999). Plexiglas objects by Cornelius Kolig exemplify Pop Art tendencies in Austria. Many of the sculptures stem from the 1980s and 1990s, including works by Sepp Auer, Manfred Erjautz, Bruno Gironcoli, Manfred Wakolbinger and Erwin Wurm.

International artists are represented by Stephan Balkenhol, Ernst Barlach, Michael Buthe, Anthony Caro, Amadeo Gabino, Jiri Kolar, and Tom Wesselmann in the collection.
In recent years, contemporary positions have been acquired with works by Dorothee Golz, Julie Hayward, Simon Wachsmuth, Tony Cragg and Matt Mullican.
