In the 1960s, he develops utopian projects straddling the lines between architecture, design, and sculpture. For \u201cOld Figure,\u201d he sets an upright metal object on the head end of a bed made of layered mattresses. Beds, cots, and stretchers figure in many of the artist\u2019s works as grim emblems of frailty, illness, and death, attesting to his deeply felt awareness of the finitude of human\u2014and ultimately, his own\u2014existence. Hence the central role of the fusion of life and art in Pichler\u2019s oeuvre: this installation originally had its place right next to his own bed."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Wood, Tin, Copper, Mattresses, Sheet"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Old Figure"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Sculpture"},"primaryMedia":{"label":"PrimaryMedia","value":"/internal/media/dispatcher/125934/full"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"1960\u20131963"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"10203344"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-85414/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"91 × 92 × 200 cm"}}]}
