Pavillon-Skulptur

Pavillon-Skulptur stands on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse as a granite work by Swiss artist Max Bill. Swiss artist Max Bill created the work in 1983. The walk-in sculpture uses identical granite blocks to build pillars, arches, and plinths. Its geometric structure creates spaces that you can enter and cross. Clear lines and repeated proportions connect the sculpture with concrete art and the Zurich school. Granite from a quarry in the Black Forest gives the work its solid material presence. As you move around or through it, changing spaces make the sculpture appear dynamic. Bahnhofstrasse surrounds this calm public artwork with the movement of central Zurich. Near Paradeplatz, the sculpture places structured granite beside one of the city’s busiest urban settings. The Pavillon-Skulptur is wheelchair accessible for visitors. Its precise forms reflect Max Bill’s interest in geometry, order, and spatial experience. The artwork offers a direct encounter with public art, where your position changes the view.
