Title:Dr. Erich Achmüller

Object name:tableau

Collection:Provincial Council of South Tyrol

In accordance with the resolution of the Council of the Autonomous Province of South Tyrol of 19 December 1979, No. 12, Art. 19 (Inventories), 106 works of art were transferred from the ownership of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol to the ownership of the South Tyrolean Provincial Council in autumn 2005 as part of the movable property. The three frescoes by Karl Plattner (‘South Tyrol’), Siegfried Pörnbacher (‘The Harvest’) and Peter Fellin (‘Bridge between North and South’), which are attached to the provincial council building and are therefore immovable, have remained the property of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-Alto Adige as ‘art in architecture’.

Description:Half-length portrait of Dr Erich Achmüller, President of the Provincial Council of South Tyrol. Signed and dated lower left in white: ‘I. R. Siéf / 1987’.

Hist. crit. notes:Ivo Rossi Siéf (* 1949) from San Candido/Innichen studied psychology in Innsbruck before moving to Venice to study architecture. He later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna as well as at the University of Applied Arts. Besides his architecture, his artistic activities also extended to collaborations with poets and sculptors. His 1990 project with Elmar Perkmann at the medieval Prösels Castle, and with writer Joseph Zoderer in 1997 and 1998 culminated in illustrated works of literature. His 2004 project with poet, Renate Scrinzi was a combination of prose, poetry, and illustrations. Siéf was also involved in several portraiture commissions, such as those of Alois Pupp and Erich Achmüller. Characterized by a gestural realism, these formal portraits of past presidents are housed at the Provincial Council building.
