Hommage für Anton Bruckner
Hommage für Anton Bruckner stands in Linz’s Danube park as a sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi, created in 1977. Its industrial forms place you among large-scale modern artworks shaped for the city’s open-air setting.
The work belongs to Forum Metall, founded by Helmuth Gsöllpointner and Peter Baum to connect art, industry and commerce. Artists from seven countries designed sculptures for Linz, while Austrian workshops produced them from materials including iron, steel and aluminium. Paolozzi, a co-founder of English pop art, explored machine aesthetics through scrap metal, found objects and industrial forms.
Forum Metall began alongside Linz’s fourth Bruckner Festival, three years after the Brucknerhaus opened. Many sculptures became permanent, creating an outdoor collection where the city’s industrial heritage meets contemporary art.
