Mario Negri was born in Tirano, Italy. He studied architecture for several years in Milan before World War II broke out. He was imprisoned and put for two years in a concentration camp in Germany. After his first exhibition he was an important contributor to the modern Italian sculpture movement.
Uhripaalu is interpretable as both realistic and symbolic and can be considered a typical example of her work. His work also shows a tendency towards the work of his Swiss relative, Alberto Giacometi.
The museum and it's statue park are closed until September 2014.
