Anything pink rocks!

Erwin Wurm, 2002, Fat Car II, car, polyurethane foam, styrofoam, polyester, pink lacquer, 4 8/10m x 1 3/10 meters

Erwin Wurm is one of Austria’s preeminent international contemporary artists. He has devoted his professional career to reshaping our concept of what constitutes a sculpture. In his One Minute Sculptures, Wurm invites the spectator to act like a sculpture using the props and materials he provides for the while he photographs or videos these events. The corporeal aspect of these pieces support his later voluminous and significant works, the Fat Cars. The Fat Cars are flesh-like vehicle in shades of brown, cream, pink and peach.

I believe that Paige West in NYC (owner of Mixed Greens) owns this one. If I remember right she had a slide of it up during her lecture last year at the Corcoran.
