Bruno Gironcoli

Bruno Gironcoli (27 September 1936 – 19 February 2010) was an Austrian modern artist.

Born in Villach, Gironcoli began training as a goldsmith in 1951 in Innsbruck, completing his apprenticeship in 1956.

In 1977 Gironcoli became head of the School of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, as successor to Fritz Wotruba.

The most substantial collection of his work so far can be seen since September 2004 in a dedicated museum in the Park at Schloss Herberstein.

Bruno Gironcoli died in February 2010 in Wien after a long illness.
