Standing Woman

A signature 'Standing Female Figure' by the Austrian sculptor Fritz Wotruba (1907–1975), produced in the 1950s–60s as part of his lifelong reduction of the human body into stacks of cuboid and cylindrical blocks. Developed after Wotruba's return from wartime exile, this austere geometric language — later known as the 'Wotruba cube' — came to define postwar European sculpture between figuration and abstraction. It served as the formal seed of Wotruba's own architectural masterpiece, the Wotruba Church in Vienna, and stands as a cornerstone of the Belvedere 21's 20th-century Austrian collection.
