Günther Uecker is a German sculptor, op artist and installation artist.
Erwin Heerich was a German artist.
Heerich emphasized that for him, "cardboard, like polystyrene, had no specifically aesthetic or historical connotations, the materials are value-neutral to the largest possible extent." Furthermore, the artist was not primarily "concerned with the manifestation of an art object, but with making an idea material in terms of a specific problem: how space can be presented and formed."

Daniel Spoerri was a Swiss artist of Romanian-Jewish descent, renowned for his contributions to the art world as a key figure in the Nouveau Réalisme (New Realism) movement. Born in Romania in 1930, Spoerri made significant strides in visual art, particularly in his development of "snare-pictures," a method where he captured a group of objects, such as table settings and the remnants of meals, in a state of apparent disorder yet meticulously fixed to the tabletop.
His works are celebrated for turning ordinary moments into a tableau of frozen time, capturing life's ephemeral qualities through the permanence of art. Notably, his piece "Tableau piège" involves the fixation of objects to a board or table, which is then displayed vertically, challenging traditional art display norms and viewer perceptions. This innovative approach allowed him to explore themes of consumption, waste, and the mundane, making the everyday profound.
Daniel Spoerri's art is housed in many esteemed institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. His work continues to influence contemporary art, offering a unique perspective on the art of assemblage and the beauty in the banal.
