PERMANENT INSTALLATION OF HORIZON FIELD VORARLBERG

As a private art association, we are committed to the re-erection of Antony Gormley’s unique landscape installation. The 100 iron sculptures are to return to their locations in the high alpine mountains to stay. We want to preserve this world-class art for future generations and have Horizon Field Vorarlberg become a permanent addition to the region’s cultural landscape.

We are proposing the permanent installation of Horizon Field Vorarlberg without recourse to public funding.

Horizon Field Vorarlberg: This video was made in 2010 on the occasion of the opening of the art installation. Antony Gormley explains the artistic idea behind his work.
  • Otto Huber, Chairman Kunstverein HORIZON FIELD
    »This magnificent work of art makes the relationship between us humans and nature tangible in a unique way. Its message is universal and timeless and at the same time tied to the place where it was created. Vorarlberg could expand its distinctive cultural profile with this internationally acclaimed work of art.«
  • Sabine Haag, Director General of the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM) Vienna
    »It is difficult to imagine another project that combines artistic significance, touristic appeal, ecological sustainability and socio-political relevance with the same explosiveness and distinctiveness.«
  • Magnus Brunner, Minister of Finance of the Republic of Austria
    »Antony Gormley’s iron men have brought contemporary art to life in Vorarlberg and created invaluable added value for all visitors. That’s why I support the HORIZON FIELD association in its efforts to bring the fascinating iron men back to the beautiful mountain world.«
  • Andrea Mayer, State Secretary for Art and Culture of the Republic of Austria
    »Horizon Field Vorarlberg brings people into contact with art and allows us to perceive it as an indispensable part of our lives. The return of this unique and fascinating silent show would be a great enrichment for Austria as an art country.«
  • Stefan Sagmeister, artist and designer
    »The most difficult thing in design and art is to create a ‘good’ work that can convince both the experts and the masses. Antony Gormley’s Horizon Field Vorarlberg is one of those rare works that accomplish this in a wonderful way.«
