Mid Century Modern Monumental Metal Sculptural Wall Panel by Egon Fischer

Description
Born in Copenhagen, Fischer 23 October 1935 - 28 January 2016 studied at Eks skolen where he learnt welding under Poul Gernes. The school's experimental approach provided significant impetus to his development. He began exhibiting in 1963, presenting his first welded pieces the following year with humorous titles 186 such as "Besværlig tanke på sokkel" (Difficult Thoughts on a Plinth) or "Svævende port med hank og søjler" (Floating Gate with Handles and Columns). [1][2] In 1967, he contributed Ølkasseskulptur (Beer Crate Sculpture) to an outdoor exhibition. Further experimentation in the 1970s resulted in a series of monumental works including his Skuptur-broen connecting Birkerød's town hall with its library. This huge work combined art and function, combining carved structural elements and coloured flowers. [1][3] In 1975, Fischer was awarded the Eckersberg Medal and, in 1992, the Thorvaldsen Medal.rtist:
He also created 105 aluminium boards 100x125 for the transit area at Copenhagen airport in the 1990s.
