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. The studio is not open to the public. In Vienna his sailing boat Misconceivable has hung from the roof of Hotel Daniel by the Belvedere since 2012, and works by him can be seen at Galerie Kovacek + Zetter. Wurm is represented by Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, in Austria based in Salzburg. And talking about how humour becomes art.
