After the exhibition of bronze sculptures by Joannis Avramidis (1922-2016) in 1999, the large figure was bought in 1982 by the Association of Friends of the International Artists' House Villa Concordia with the help of donations and sponsorship money and placed on the pillar site. Joannis Avramidis was of Greek descent and was born in Georgia. He was deported to Vienna as a forced laborer in 1943, where he later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. After being discovered by Fritz Wotruba, Avramidis developed into one of the most important sculptors in Austria. His work revolves around the human figure, which he abstracts and transforms into monumental round sculptures. His sculptures are mostly made up of segments of circles, which are condensed into slender steles and, despite their abstraction, reveal their ancient Greek and archaic influence.
