Alfred Haberpointner is an Austrian sculptor, born in 1966 in Ebenau near Salzburg. He studied at the School of Sculpture in Hallein from 1980 to 1984 before continuing his education at the University of Art and Design Linz from 1985 to 1991.
Haberpointner’s artistic practice is centered on the sculptural potential of wood. Through cutting, chopping, burning, sawing, and staining, he transforms the material into works that oscillate between abstraction and figuration. The traces of the physical process remain visible, creating surfaces defined by rhythm, texture, and light. Alongside his distinctive head sculptures, he produces wall reliefs and large-scale installations that investigate the relationship between material, form, and space.
Over the past three decades, his work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in major public and private collections, including the Würth Collection, Museum der Moderne Salzburg, Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, and Museum Beelden aan Zee.
