Erwin Wurm

Erwin Wurm is an Austrian artist. He lives and works in Vienna and Limberg in Austria, and in New York City.

Wurm is known for his humorous approach to formalism.

Wurm's work is often critical of Western society and the mentality and lifestyle of his childhood during post-World War II Austria. Although Wurm's sculptures are humorous and ridiculous, they are actually quite serious. His criticism is playful, but should not be confused with kindness. He represents his criticism of objects, such as clothing, furniture, cars, houses, and everyday objects to his audience. Common themes in his work include not only our relationship to banal everyday objects, but also philosophers and life in postwar Austria.
