Fritz Wotruba’s oeuvre ranks among the classics of modern sculpture. After 1945, the artist develops his characteristic abstraction of the human figure on the basis of geometric forms. He also branches out into stage design, which helps him devise ways to open up his works: Wotruba now constructs, layers, and piles up blocks. One culmination of these efforts is the maquette for the Church of the Most Holy Trinity, which synthesizes his visions of the human figure, nature, landscape, and architecture. The so-called Wotruba Church is realized on the outskirts of Vienna between 1974 and 1976 based on plans for which the artist collaborates with the architect Fritz Gerhard Mayr.
