10/87
10/87 stands in Ulm, Germany, as Erich Hauser’s stainless-steel sculpture from 1987. Triangular bodies spread from a central point and rise into a spatial diagonal. Its polished, non-shiny surfaces catch the blue sky, white clouds, nearby buildings, and surrounding nature.
Hauser arranged the setting so architecture appears from two sides, while nature fills the other two. The broad side climbs from west to east. That direction lets sunlight produce maximum contrast between light and shadow across the geometric surfaces. Imagined interiors within the triangular planes suggest irregularly shaped pyramids. The numbering system identifies 10/87 as Hauser’s tenth work created in 1987.
The pyramid held a special place in Hauser’s thinking and shaped his artistic vocabulary. In Rottweil, he built a pyramid-shaped house measuring fifteen by fifteen by fifteen metres. He moved there in 1959 after working as an independent sculptor in Schramberg. The changing sky remains visible across the steel, linking the rising form with its surroundings.
