Meditationsstein 2006

"Meditationsstein" (2006), by Austrian sculptor Karl Prantl (1923–2010), is a minimalist sculpture featuring a tall, rectangular stone pillar situated in a grassy field. The stone’s dark, textured surface evokes a sense of natural weight and permanence, while a series of white veins running through the center adds a subtle visual interest. The sculpture’s title suggests a contemplative purpose, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the surrounding nature and the passing of time. Prantl's works often focused on simple forms and materials, exploring the relationship between nature and human creation.
