Inventor of Eat Art
Lived in Vienna: Swiss artist Spoerri is dead
The Swiss object artist Daniel Spoerri is dead. The artist, who had lived in Vienna since 2007, died in a Viennese hospital on Wednesday afternoon at the age of 94.
Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Governor of Lower Austria, paid tribute to Spoerri as a "great exceptional artist". As a master of fine art and founder of Eat Art, he truly wrote art history.
In addition, he had shaped the Lower Austrian art and culture scene in the last 16 years of his life like hardly anyone else, Mikl-Leitner emphasized. Above all, he had created a focal point in the Waldviertel with his Spoerri exhibition house in Hadersdorf am Kamp.
Spoerri was born on March 27, 1930 in Galati, Romania, and grew up in Switzerland after fleeing in 1942. At the age of 24, he worked as a dancer at the Stadttheater Bern before moving to Paris in 1959, where he created the first of his famous trap paintings.
