Emporschauende
Emporschauende is a statue by Ludwig Kaspers in Linz, Austria, set within the city’s outdoor public-art landscape. You encounter it among sculptures placed across the park-like grounds around the Landesgalerie, where art becomes part of an everyday walk.
Linz has developed a strong public-art tradition alongside its focus on twentieth-century and contemporary art. The regional collection behind the Landesgalerie began in the mid-nineteenth century, while the surrounding grounds now hold works by artists connected to Upper Austria and beyond. Sculptures across this open-air setting range from abstract to figurative forms and invite you to view them from different angles.
The Landesgalerie stands in a historicist building designed by Bruno Schmitz, with the sculpture park extending its artistic programme beyond museum walls. Emporschauende gives that setting a single, visible presence: a work by Ludwig Kaspers encountered outdoors, among paths, trees and other pieces.
