"With his sculptures of fat cars, tiny houses, cucumbers, bread rolls, and sausages, Erwin Wurm shines a critical spotlight on consumer society's manipulative mechanisms and their effects. Published to coincide with the artist's seventieth birthday, this extensive catalog documents the important stations of Erwin Wurm's artistic career to date. Wurm uses shifted proportions and new angles on objects of everyday life to gain new perspectives and insights into our world and our lives. Alongside his main works, this book also introduces the public to lesser-known but equally significant works and work groups. The resulting selection forms a dense network of artistic statements comprising sculptures, drawings, working instructions and documentation, videos, objects, photographs, and paintings."--
