Erwin Wurm - The artist who swallowed the world - Hatje Cantz 2008
This book was published on the occasion of the Erwin Wurm's retrospective that were set up in a number of different museums since 2006.
As an artistic work, the book fits in beside other works by Wurm from recent years in which he treats the relationship between artist and the art business ironically and affectionately on the whole: instructions manuals, comprehension aides and commentaries -not always meant to be taken entirely seriously- have, in fact, long formed part of the artistic media Wurm uses to explain the world to us.
