| dc.description | Overall view, permanent installation on museum terrace; Avramidis is a Greek-Austrian sculptor. He was born in Batumi, Georgia in 1922. The starting-point of all Avramidis’s sculptures was the human body, reduced to the simplest possible elements of a column and sphere. Whilst dispensing with individual details, he created bodies of immaculately tranquil harmony, their shape characterized by the interaction between individual parts and an imposingly dominant monumental whole. These often took the form of clusters of columnar forms suggesting intimate crowds of figures. "Polis" means city or body of citizens in Greek.
