About the Item
Austrian artist Erwin Wurm works across a variety of media, including photography, performance, painting, text, video, and most notably, sculpture. Wurm is interested in the absurdity and paradoxes that can be found in the mundane scenarios of daily life and the artist is best known for his 'One Minute Sculptures,' an ongoing series in which he provides instructions to participants to perform awkward poses with everyday objects—from placing a bag over one’s head to balancing teacups on the sole of each foot. Through his often ironic or seemingly humorous work, Wurm confronts and upends expectations about what art should be.
'Untitled (Taipei)' is from a series of photographs created on the occasion of Wurm’s solo exhibition, 'One Minute in Taipei,' mounted at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum in 2020. Made in collaboration with Vogue, each image captures a unique 'One Minute Sculpture.' In this series, Wurm outfits a pair of cucumbers in Gucci sneakers, stuffs a zipped up jacket with fresh lettuce, and puts designer glasses on a bubblegum pink watering can, resulting in images that are both delightful and absurd. Although Wurm utilises fragile produce as a primary material in many of these pieces, each work is immortalized through a c-print photograph—allowing these one minute sculptures to endure far beyond their typical shelf life.

Erwin Wurm
For Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, sculpture is a fluid concept. Over the last three decades, Wurm has created work that blurs the boundary between viewer, object and performer, and challenges the formal qualities of sculpture. This is visible in his audience-activated One Minute Sculptures and works like "Noodlesculpture (That’s me)," which challenges assumptions about sculptural temporality and monumentality.
