NIKI AWARD for Austrian Athletes of the Year

(annually since 2004)

The Sports Awards are presented during the "Night of Sports" lottery gala. Each year's trophies have their own distinct character, and every sculpture is unique due to the manufacturing process. A few years ago, the trophy was named "NIKI" in honor of former winner Niki Lauder.

Stage Set

The metal artist Stefan Gahr about "his" NIKI
Beginning with stunning effort, the welding torch destroys the previously built steel framework and covers it with liquid bronze. The molten mass slowly but inevitably straightens. A striving upward to transform later into the image of a human being. Legs, hips, spine, rib cage formally emerge together. The torso testifies to my own effort. Bent backwards, he wants to free himself from his foundation. My ideas become more and more precise. The grinding, welding, hammering and recognition soon happened automatically, while my mind is already running ahead of me. An arm stretches powerfully to the side, its counterpart is simply modulated along by my spirit, without being of any importance for the flight of heights yet. An explosion of feelings leads to the dissolution of the form. Warmth spreads out in all directions and with it the arm that has become a symbol for my urge for freedom. It freezes in space, in order to concentrate, finally at a standstill, with relish on the glowing path of life.
