Sieben Anrufungen 1992

"Sieben Anrufungen" (Seven Invocations), created in 1992 by Austrian sculptor Karl Prantl (1923-2010), is a minimalist sculpture characterized by its stark simplicity. The work consists of a single, tall, rectangular block of dark gray stone with seven circular recesses carved into its surface. The precise placement and the symmetrical arrangement of these circular depressions impart a sense of order and balance to the otherwise austere form. The work, despite its apparent simplicity, is a powerful example of abstract sculpture, drawing viewers to contemplate the interplay between form, void, and materiality.
