Steinmandli ‘Human Nature’

The stone sculpture ‘Steinmandli Human Nature’ welcomes travellers, guests and locals to Andermatt and the Ursern Valley. At the roundabout, directly after the Schöllenen Gorge, it points the way to the village, the valley or Andermatt Reuss. The ‘Steinmandli’ symbolises the change in Andermatt and combines tradition with modernity and proximity with distance.

Ugo Rondinone, who comes from Brunnen and now lives in New York, is an internationally renowned artist. His works include installations, drawings, paintings and films. The sculpture ‘Human Nature’ impresses with its size and simplicity and reflects the elemental force of the mountains. In Andermatt, it merges with the surrounding Alps.
