The "Scultura Astratta" by Alberto Viani created for documenta 2 in 1959 now stands in the foyer of the University of Kassel at the Wilhelmshöhe site.
Impression and effect depend on the position of the viewer

Alberto Viani's "Scultura Astratta" does not refer directly to natural models, but develops its very own objectivity. The bronze sculpture is effective solely through its form, materiality and relationship to space. Only at second glance does the almost floating figure evoke associations with organic things, such as a sprouting plant. The work invites you to circle around it, setting it in motion and constantly opening up new views. The sculpture was created for documenta 2 in 1959.
