Jos Pirkner attended the Kunstgewerbeschule (arts and crafts school) in Klagenfurt, graduated from the master school for applied arts in Graz with honors and, as a private student of the sculptor Rudolf Reinhart in Salzburg, discovered his preference for metal as a material. In 1951, Pirkner accepted an offer from the Brom brothers and began working as an independent gold and silver sculptor for the world-famous studio in the Netherlands. Jos Pirkner was accepted by the Academy of Fine Arts in Amsterdam and attended the Free Academy in Utrecht as a guest student. This city became his second home for the next 25 years. Jos Prikner is friends with Dutch artist Charles Eyk. Pirkner opened his own studio and married Joke Baegen in 1966. Immediately after the birth of his son Gidi, he returned to East Tyrol in 1978. Jos Pirkner lives with his family in Tristach near Lienz. (source: http://www.jos-pirkner.at/)
