Around the same time, he began creating sculptural works that were not directly tied to his explorations of architecture\u2014such as the sculpture \u201eOld Figure\u201c. The figure\u2019s metallic body was constructed by bending and soldering around a skeletal framework of thin branches. In 1971 Pichler added a mattress to \u201eOld Figur\u201ce and placed it next to his own sleeping area in his Vienna studio. Subsequently, it became a kind of shadow figure for the artist, reflecting his sleep and waking rhythms, as he would set it upright or lay it down in sync with his own body. This close bond, reinforced through ritualized actions, exemplifies the near-symbiotic relationship Pichler had with his sculptures, which he no longer sold from the early 1970s onward."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Wood, Tin, Copper, Mattresses, Sheet"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"media":{"label":"Media","value":["https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/119348/full"]},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Old Figure"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Sculpture"},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/125934/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"1960\u20131963"},"thesconceptsImgorg":{"label":"Bildorganisation","value":["Innenraum"]},"thesconceptsMotive":{"label":"Motive","value":[{"iconClassURL":"https://iconclass.org/48C24","content":"sculpture, reproduction of a sculpture"},{"iconClassURL":"https://iconclass.org/41A7631","content":"mattress"},{"iconClassURL":"https://iconclass.org/[Belvedere-Notation]","content":"lying in bed (male figure)"},{"iconClassURL":"https://iconclass.org/48C22","content":"sculptor in non-work situation"}]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"12372582"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-85414/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"91 × 92 × 200 cm"}}]}
