Yorkshire Sculpture Park presents the first major museum exhibition in the UK from internationally renowned artist Erwin Wurm.

The display takes place in the Underground Gallery as well as outside, gathering Wurm’s sculpture, painting, photographs, video and drawing.

The artist is best known for his One Minute Sculptures, a series began in the 1990s that combines performance and sculpture to, often, quite humorous and surreal effect. For Trap of the Truth, Wurm has also created sculptures especially for YSP, including a new piece from the Skins and Avatar series which visitors can find outdoors. Other works include food-like forms in bronze inspired by Austria’s traditional ‘weiner’ sausage.

Erwin Wurm: Trap of the Truth is accompanied by an exciting programme of events.
