Author: Wurm, Erwin
With the Performative Sculptures, Erwin Wurm gets his hands dirty, attacking models or raw blocks of clay and deforming them by either physical exertion alone or other external means. Afterwards, the artist often casts the abused models in either bronze, aluminium, iron or polyester resin, and then paints them either in colour or with an applied patina. This catalogue provides insight into the cycle of works and analyses them against within the context of his artistic development.These works were comprehensively presented at the 21er Haus in 2017 for the first time. A majority of the 54 performative sculptures and statues have been developed especially for this exhibition.
ISBN 9783903153677. Verlag fur moderne Kunst. hb. 216 pages. 65 colour & 27 b/w ills. 22.2 x 29.2 cm.
