Caroline Ramersdorfer

Inner View II

2013

Austrian-born Caroline Ramersdorfer is a sculptor who works with marble and steel to explore themes of perception and serenity in her art, which ranges from small-scale to monumental. Ramersdorfer has permanent installations all over the world — her sculptures can be found in North America, Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and elsewhere.

Ramersdorfer’s curiosity is vast and her interests span a host of topics. At the International University of Art in Florence, Italy, she studied African art history, museum science and Renaissance fresco restoration. From 1981–83, she studied etching at the Graphic Art Studio of Santa Reparata. Ramersdorfer subsequently studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara and completed her MFA in 1988. 

In 2001, Ramersdorfer’s multimedia project, Inner Views, received support from the Austrian Ministry of Art and Education in Vienna. The institution provided Ramersdorfer with grants to work in Japan and New York City. Her permanent installation, Seed of a Unified Spirit, faces the Olympic tower in the Olympic Park in Beijing. In 2019, the China Sculpture Institute in Beijing shortlisted her Inner View_interlocked_open model. This piece later won the top prize at the 2nd Wenzhou, Zhejiang China-Pose-Future International Sculpture Exposition, and it is permanently installed at the Huangshishan Sculpturepark in Wenzhou.
