"agitprop" Austrian Sculptor Hrdlicka Dies At 81

Alfred Hrdlicka, a prominent leftist Austrian sculptor, whose iconoclastic works condemned war and fascism and at times upset religious sensibilities, died on Saturday aged 81, Austrian media said on Sunday. A cast-iron sculpture of a prone human being covered by barbed wire in downtown Vienna is among the internationally known works by Hrdlicka, an atheist who was also influenced by studies of the mentally ill.
