![Six partition walls, - Design Six partition walls, - Design](/fileadmin/lot-images/40D121127/normal/sechs-stellwaende-4468075.jpg)
designed by Günther Domenig *, 1968–70, yellow dyed fibreglass, each height 210 cm, width 100 cm, depth 19 cm. (DR)
Accompanied by a letter from the architect Eilfried Huth of 19 April 2012.
Provenance: Chapel of the Sisters of Notre Dame, Graz, until 2012.
Cf. Lit.: M. Boeckl, Günther Domenig, Vienna 2005, pp. 23/24.
The partition walls were installed on the balustrade in the church of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Graz. The walls were used as supports for the Stations of the Cross. In 1968, Günther Domenig and his then-partner, Eilfried Huth, were commissioned with the redesign of the interior of this 19th-century building. By 1971, the uniform new seating and an approximately 45-metre-long balustrade had been installed. The material used was yellow dyed fibreglass. With these organic forms, the architects anticipated their famous caterpillar-shaped multifunctional shells for the convent building of the Sisters of Notre Dame, the only and most significant built example of authentic Pop architecture in Austria.
