Erwin Hauer
“One thing that I thought is extremely important in sculpture is the concept of space and time. There is an element of time in anything three-dimensional. Something has to change in significant ways when you change your vantage point in space. When you merely move any three-dimensional object, that may not be enough in some cases. It’s the difference between noise and music. You want something that transcends the merely visible. ”

About Erwin Hauer
Erwin Hauer spent his life perfecting architectural screens and sculptures that celebrate Modular Constructivism. In 1950, this Austria-born sculptor began exploring modular sculptures that took shape as light-diffusing screens and walls that first appeared in churches in Vienna. These screens garnered attention abroad and eventually brought Erwin Hauer to the United States, where, after decades of success, he remained dedicated to his work as an independent sculptor in Bethany, Connecticut.

“Erwin’s work cuts across many disciplines—his sculptor peers, of course, but also architects, mathematicians, and musicians get caught up in its elegance, complexity, and simplicity.”
