The story

Erwin Wurm, born in 1954 in Bruck an der Mur, is the most internationally renowned Austrian sculptor of our time. His One Minute Sculptures, in which visitors become the sculpture for a minute, his Fat Cars and the Narrow House have taken him from Vienna to Venice, New York and Seoul.

His studio is in Limberg in the Weinviertel, just under an hour from Vienna, on a former estate with halls, workshops and a sculpture park. Access is the exception, not the rule. What is always possible: seeing Wurm in Vienna, at the Belvedere, at Galerie Kovacek + Zetter with objects from his workshop, or in the city where his works stand. And talking about how humour becomes art.

Look at a person as a sculpture and everything becomes funny. And serious.

What you experience

For special groups we try to arrange a studio visit in Limberg, subject to the availability of the artist and his team. Without the studio: a gallery talk at Kovacek + Zetter with Wurm objects and a walk to his works in Vienna. For art groups and collectors' trips, ideally combined with Studio Comploj.
