If I remember correctly, this snowman sculpture by Austrian artist Manfred Erjautz in front of the Upper Belvedere should have been removed at the end of March. Well, on Sunday it was still there and a very popular photo subject for the tourists. Please click here for a photo taken in January.
On Saturday evening the city was beautifully covered with snow. During the night the temperature increased and the snow turned into slush... Maybe you are now wondering why this snowman still looks so perfect. Well, because he's made of marble and a sculpture by Austrian artist Manfred Erjautz. The website of the Belvedere, in front of which he is located, says that he "symbolizes not only a particular season but also memories and the complexities of transience. The snowman is deprived of its ephemeral existence through the creative process, ultimately leading to it becoming trapped in the present."
