Philip Johnson - Wiener Trio

Philip Johnson – Wiener Trio

Philip Johnson's "Wiener Trio" was installed at the intersection of Franz-Josefs-Kai and Schottenring in 1998. Each element of the tripartite object has a sculptural character of its own. Seen together, however, they represent a kind of architecture, reflecting the American architect's long-standing and intense exploration of monumentality.
Philip Johnson developed the object in 1996 for a MAK exhibition entitled "Turning Point". The installation of this extraordinary object in the public space was made possible through the generous support of the Wiener Städtische Allgemeine Versicherungs AG.

Donald Judd - Stage Set

Donald Judd – Stage Set

Donald Judd's "Stage Set" is the expression of an uncompromising vision located between art and architecture. Six bands of differently colored fabric are mounted at different heights in a steel framework of 7.5 x 10 x 12.5 m. Rhythmicizing the open space, they visualize serializations and variations that are characteristic of Judd's work. Donald Judd developed "Stage Set" for the MAK in 1991 on the occasion of his exhibition entitled "Architecture". The sculpture was installed in Vienna's Stadtpark in 1996.

	Franz West - Four Lemurheads (Detail)		Franz West – Four Lemurheads The "Four Lemurheads" were mounted on the Stubenbrücke next to the MAK main building on the occasion of the exhibition "Franz West: Gnadenlos" in 2001. Although originally planned to remain there for the term of the exhibition only, the four sculptures were given to the MAK as permanent loans and can therefore stay where they are.

	Michael Kienzer - Stylit		Michael Kienzer – Stylit In his piece “Stylit”, Michael Kienzer addresses the subject of sculpture in the public sphere: he interprets space as an archive of objects, which he juxtaposes with an elongated vertical sculpture which, however, unlike all other urban furnishing objects and elements, is marked by perplexing difference. On the end of a several meter long rod or pipe, which grows out of a pot-like pedestal, he mounts a well pump which – unreachable for pedestrians passing by – sits at the height of the treetops and street lights. Using simple tools and everyday (ready-made) materials, Michael Kienzer succeeds always again to break up perceptual patterns and to create shrewdly differentiated spatial situations.

	James Turrell - MAKlite		James Turrell – MAKlite In James Turrell’s permanent installation "MAKlite", intensive light pulsates in the windows of the MAK. With the unreality of a dream, the brick façade loses its static solidity, appearing as a shimmering, translucent membrane that hints, wordlessly but emphatically, of transfers being made: by means of this inner radiance the MAK communicates to the urban surroundings the complex proceedings being effected within.
