Hasior's Fiery Birds

This original outdoor sculpture is located in the Kasprowicz Park, on the slope on the east side of the Summer Theatre.

It depicts a flock of colourful birds with decorative jagged wings, set on metal, openwork wheels of various sizes.

Initially, all the elements of the sculpture were covered with silver paint. It was only during their first renovation, personally supervised by Władysław Hasior, that they received their current colour scheme.

The “Fiery Birds” composition was initially put on the escarpment at the castle by Władysław Hasior in 1975 as part of his individual exhibition at the Ducal Castle. The unusual modernist sculpture is made of profiles, rods, chains and metal sheets. Hasior was the creator of many provocative and unconventional outdoor monuments and sculptures in Poland and abroad.

The author of the sculpture, Władysław Hasior, died in 1999.
