!!!Pichler, Walter

b. Deutschnofen (South Tyrol), Oct. 1, 1936, sculptor and graphic 
artist. Began his career with architectural designs for utopian city 
models, which he created around 1960 with H.  Hollein; from 1972 P. 
worked in St. Martin (Burgenland) on the connection between sculpture 
and the surrounding space. Archaic forms and materials such as wood, 
tin, lead and bronze, are typical of these works. Graphics and 
drawings often explain their spectrum of meaning. 1990 his "Tor zum 
Garten" was set up in the Museum of Applied Art in Vienna. Awarded the 
Grand Austrian State Prize in 1985.
