Jewish Museum Project, Judenplatz, Vienna, Austria Project, Exterior perspective
Raimund Abraham
American, born Austria. 1933–2010
1992
A photocopy‑transfer and acrylic architectural perspective proposing a jagged, sculptural intervention for a Jewish museum at Vienna’s Judenplatz, where the architect turns an idea into a stark, almost tectonic form.
The image hits you as a high‑contrast, grainy field pierced by thick, ink‑like strokes that make a hovering, angular mass seem to slice across the horizon and float in space.
It exemplifies Raimund Abraham’s experimental drawing practice—using reproducible, collage‑like techniques to make architectural proposals read as poetic, politically charged monuments about memory rather than only pragmatic buildings.
