Summary

In the twentieth century, figurative sculpture departed radically from tradition and the idea of the body was reinterpreted. the influence of movements like Minimal Art, Fluxus, Performance or Conceptual Art led to a differentiated concept of sculpture, which subsequently encompassed a variety of positions, materials and media as well as public spaces. The boundaries to other artistic genres became blurred and it was not unusual for sculptural objects to become the subject of a sequence of actions. As part of this fragmentation and expansion of the concept of sculpture, the figure underwent a series of deconstructions. It has, however, lost none of its fascination to this day. On the contrary: as a starting point for sculptural concepts the figure was rediscovered both in Austria and internationally. In line with this, MUSA is showing a selection of examples from the collection of the City of Vienna's department for Cultural affairs.
