Erwin Wurm - Signed Exhibition Poster - Retrospektive

2007

Hand signed by Erwin Wurm, lower center. Original, hand-signed poster for the exhibition  “ Erwin Wurm - Retrospektive”, a retrospective at Haus der Photographie, Deichtorhallen Hamburg, 2007. Sheet size : 84 x 59,5 cm. This exhibition highlighted Wurm’s conceptual approach to sculpture and photography, blending humor, irony, and social critique. 

This signed exhibition poster image captures Wurm’s signature absurdity and playfulness, featuring a serious-looking man in a formal suit with an orange tucked under his shirt, humorously mimicking cleavage. This surreal yet everyday intervention challenges perceptions of masculinity, identity, and the role of sculpture in contemporary art. His work is deeply rooted in conceptual and participatory art, encouraging audiences to reconsider the mundane and the unexpected through simple yet provocative gestures.

Erwin Wurm (b.1954) is internationally acclaimed, his unique approach to sculpture and photography has made him one of the most influential contemporary artists, bridging the gap between humor and deep societal reflection.
