Nike von Linz, Aluminum sculpture at University of Arts in Linz, Austria
The Nike von Linz consists of two mirrored aluminum plates forming a winged figure mounted on a steel framework at a height of 35 meters.
Installed in 1977 as part of the forum metall project, the sculpture remained at its original location for 27 months before being relocated to Frankfurt.
The sculpture represents a modern interpretation of the ancient Nike of Samothrace, connecting classical art with contemporary industrial materials and techniques.
The aluminum structure weighs approximately 500 kilograms and measures eight meters in height, featuring integrated neon lights for nighttime illumination.
The United Metal Works Ranshofen-Berndorf created the sculpture by etching photographic reproductions directly onto metal plates using industrial processes.
