Erwin Wurm
Untitled (Taipei)

2020

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. Edition of 3.

  • Peony (Floral Still Life Photograph of Magenta Flower with Yellow Paint Details)
    By Newbold Bohemia
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Modern still life photograph of magenta peony on a black background with thick yellow acrylic paint details Digital C-Print, edition of 10 30 x 30 inches unframed Newbold Bohemia offers a playful selection of images with his FLOWr series. Bohemia made these compositions by carefully capturing the graceful drips and squirts of bright yellow acrylic paint around bright magenta peony flower submerged in a water tank, which produced a mesmerizing arrangement of color, shape and form. The artist explains that with each image he seeks to “…create not only an image, but an entire world within my image.” Newbold Bohemia (born 1965, Evansville, Indiana) mainly creates photos, although his work shares as much in common with painting as it does photography. Rather than using the camera to record the world around him, Bohemia prefers to work against the journalistic nature of photography. He creates his own world from scratch. In his studio he arranges still-lifes, builds sets, hires actors, and lights the scene. After capturing the image he often further enhances the work through digital or mechanical manipulation before printing the final work. Although not formally trained as an artist, his work is heavily influenced by his education and work in psychology, marketing and graphic design. Visual organization and story telling are equally important to Newbold Bohemia, although one may take precedence over another is a particular body of work. His work often focuses on the everyday and mundane, as well as historical and societal references. Tension, conflict, and humor are often introduced to create new ways of seeing the world we think we know. Newbold Bohemia currently lives and works in Chicago. His award-winning work has been exhibited throughout the United States. He is currently represented by the seller based in Hudson, NY.
