Giant Cucumber
.Erwin Wurm - 'Der Gurk' Conceived and cast in bronze in 2016.
Wyrn's sculptures are a contemporary amalgam of absurdist humour and parady western consumerist culture. The present work takes as its subject die gurke (a cucumber) which in this case has been enlarged to more than four metres high and immortalised in bronze in a nod to the endemic modern obsession with continually demanding 'bigger and better'.
