Alban Berg monument, Vienna, Contemporary sculpture at Herbert-von-Karajan-Platz, Vienna, Austria
The aluminum monument consists of three interwoven loops rising to a height of five meters in front of the Vienna State Opera building.
The Alban Berg Monument, constructed between 2015 and 2016, commemorates four composers: Berg, Schönberg, Webern, and former Court Opera director Gustav Mahler.
The twelve-step pedestal of the monument incorporates symbolism from the twelve-tone musical technique extensively used in Berg's compositions.
The monument sits at coordinates 48.202676, 16.369603, making it accessible through multiple public transportation options near the Vienna State Opera.
The cast aluminum structure weighs 1.5 tonnes and required specific engineering solutions due to its placement above an underground parking facility.
