Krzesło Kantora, Concrete art sculpture at Rzeźnicza Street, Wrocław, Poland.
Krzesło Kantora is a large concrete sculpture standing at the intersection of Rzeźnicka Street and Nowy Świat, reaching approximately 9 meters high. The work displays the form of an oversized chair rendered in solid concrete, making it a commanding presence in the urban landscape.
The work was designed by Polish artist Tadeusz Kantor in 1970 and installed in Wrocław during the European Culture Congress in 2011. The placement marked a significant moment when contemporary art was integrated into the city's public spaces.
The chair functions as public art that blends into daily street life rather than commanding attention like a formal memorial. Passersby treat it as part of the urban landscape, showing how contemporary works can coexist with routine urban movement.
The sculpture sits at a busy street intersection and is easily accessible on foot, located near the Contemporary Theatre. Visitors should be aware of traffic around the site and can view the work from various angles depending on where they stand.
This is the fourth iteration of Kantor's chair design, with other versions placed in Oslo, at Foksal Gallery, and in Hucisko. Each installation carries different meanings depending on its specific location and how local audiences respond to it.
