Auf einem Bein kann man nicht stehen

The Austrian sculptor and painter Erwin Wurm is one of the most successful contemporary artists and is known for his unusual depictions of everyday life and his humorous approaches to his works. Material sculptures, actions, videos, photos, drawings, and books encompass his oeuvre. Wurm often uses everyday objects such as nails and screws for his impressive sculptures. In the late 1980s, he worked on his famous One Minute Sculptures, which show people with everyday objects in strange and almost unnatural poses. Numerous exhibitions at home and abroad underline his great success in the art scene.
