Daniel Spoerri, the renowned Swiss artist celebrated for his unique ‘tableaux pièges’, has died at the age of 94 in Vienna, his chosen home. His pioneering work involved turning everyday dining settings into art by trapping real-life scenarios in time. Born in Romania, Spoerri moved to Switzerland at a young age and later became a key figure in the Nouveau Réalisme movement. He questioned traditional notions of art and beauty, establishing the Eat Art Gallery and even publishing cookbooks that explored taste as an artistic concept. Spoerri’s legacy includes stunning sculptures and thought-provoking installations.
