Erwin Wurm: The Artist Who Swallowed the World

A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 304 pages. Slight wear to cover. Catalogue published in conjunction with the exhibitions Ludwig Forum fur Internationale Kunst, Aachen (September 23, 2006 - November 26, 2006); MUMOK. Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien (October 20, 2006 - February 11, 2007). "The artists's interpretation of his own artistic intentions, strategies and contexts using the visual dramaturgy of images of his works, and using his own texts and excerpts of interviews can be seen as an act of emancipation. As an artistic work, the book fits in beside other works by Wurm from recent years in which he treats the relationship between artist and the art business ironcially and ffecionately on the whole: instruction manuals, comprehension aides and commentaries--not always meant to be taken entirely seriously--have, in fact, long formed part of the artistic media Wurm uses to explain the world to us."
