Daniel Spoerri
Daniel Spoerri has given one of his recent sculptures to the municipality Hadersdorf Kammern (Austria) where his museum “Ausstellungshaus Spoerri” is located. The bronze figure will be set up at the main place of the village at the end of Jzuly and will be inaugurated on August, 25th.
In May 2012 Daniel Spoerri has been honoured in a very special
way. On occasion of the opening of his exhibition at the Museum of Natural
History in Vienna (“Daniel Spoerri im NHM – ein inkompetenter
Dialog?“ until Sept. 17th, 2012), a so far inominated beetle has been
named after Daniel Spoerri: Philomyceta spoerrii.

Daniel Spoerri, born March
23, 1930 became known as an artist, mainly through his so-called „
snare pictures“ (1960s). However, his career started in the 1950s
as a dancer in Bern. Later he made a name for himself as a restaurant manager
(1970s) and as the founder of Eat Art ( Eat Art Galerie in Düsseldorf
and several banquets). In the 1990s he created
an extensive sculpture park, an Italian foundation since 1997. The list of his exhibitions in recent years reflects
the artist’s continual development and the unabated interest in
Daniel Spoerri’s work. |
