AVRAMIDIS, JOANNIS
Joannis Avramidis was born in 1922 to Greek parents in Batumi, Georgia, on the Black Sea. At the age of 17 and while still at art school in his home town, his father was arrested by the Stalinist regime and died in captivity. His mother fled back to Greece with the children. During the Second World War, Avramidis was deported to the Austrian capital by the National Socialists as a forced labourer. In 1945 he was able to continue the art studies he had begun in Georgia at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. At first Avramidis studied painting with Robin Christian Andersen. From 1953 to 1956 he was sponsored by the famous sculptor Fritz Wotruba. As Austria's representative at the Venice Biennale in 1962, Avramidis achieved his international breakthrough and was henceforth considered one of the outstanding sculptors of the 20th century. In 1964 he took part in documenta II, and in 1977 in documenta 6. In 1973 he was awarded the Grand Austrian State Prize for Fine Arts. From 1968 until his retirement in 1992, Avramidis held a sculpture masterclass as professor at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Joannis Avramidis died in 2016 at the age of 93. He left behind a complete and comprehensive body of work.
