The Swiss artist, who was born in Romania in 1930, systematically implemented this action at Cologne\u2019s Galerie Zwirner in 1963, leaving his works hanging for a mere seven minutes. In doing so, Spoerri humorously upended the rules of the art market and, incidentally, also helped to fill his own stomach. The egg as a primeval form of food and symbol of life has fascinated Spoerri throughout his life: He has collected literary egg quotations along with all conceivable kitchen utensils for tackling eggs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>B<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Bread<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>There\u2019s another basic building block of nutrition that plays an important role in Spoerri\u2019s biography: bread. As a young, penniless student in Paris, he used to keep stale bread in a drawer and would subsequently simmer it in water with stock cubes at the end of the month to make bread soup. One day, he had the idea of buying a tin of cheap pepper, which drastically improved the taste of the soup. Spoerri dubbed this \u201cwow\u201d moment \u201cthe root of his cooking contagion\u201d, the starting point of his lifelong passion for cooking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>C<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Catalogue Tabou<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>On the occasion of the \u201cGrocery Store\u201d exhibition in Copenhagen in 1961, Spoerri had eighty fresh rolls baked that were filled with garbage, nails and broken glass, and then proceeded to distribute them as a catalogue to visitors. This \u201cCatalogue Tabou\u201d was intended as a comment on food wastage, but the bakers\u2019 guild nevertheless reacted indignantly and wrote letters of protest. The theme of bread popped up again in Spoerri\u2019s work in 1970, this time in the form of everyday objects such as shoes or a typewriter, which the artist filled with dough and baked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>D<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Dinner<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>In addition to Object Art, in 1968 Spoerri discovered the staging of themed dinners as a means of self-expression. His spectacular banquets were intended to stimulate not just the stomach but also the mind: They called into question culinary and artistic conventions, highlighted socio-cultural aspects of food, and challenged the notions of taste among guests. Hence, he shocked participants at a goulash dinner in Heidelberg by announcing that they had just eaten horsemeat, only to revoke the claim shortly afterwards. Taking as his theme \u201cThe cuisine of the world\u2019s poor\u201d, Spoerri used just a few inexpensive ingredients to prepare extremely delicious and nutritious dishes for his guests, such as pea porridge with bacon or stockfish with potatoes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>E<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Eat Art<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Spoerri invented the concept of \u201cEat Art\u201d in the late 1960s as an overarching term for artistic exploration \u201cof everything that is edible or seems edible\u201d. The works created under this motto are testament to Spoerri\u2019s interest in the cultural significance of eating and cooking, in the fundamental principles of nutrition, and in the act of eating as an existential process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>F<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for \u201cFallenbilder\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>When Spoerri came up with the idea in 1960 of sticking the remnants of a meal \u2013 dirty plates, emptied glasses, a crumpled cigarette packet \u2013 to the table precisely as he found them, then turning the base 90 degrees and hanging it on the wall, it was the birth of the first of his iconic \u201cFallenbilder\u201d, or picture-traps. A year later, MoMA purchased one of these three-dimensional still lifes \u2013 with the remains of the breakfast consumed by his then girlfriend Kichka Baticheff \u2013 and he went on to produce countless variations over the course of his life. Letting \u201cthe trap snap shut\u201d \u2013 i.e. capturing everyday objects in their spontaneous arrangement \u2013 at precisely the right moment in time is still a leitmotif of his work today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>G<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Gift Shop<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Two years after his D\u00fcsseldorf restaurant was launched, Spoerri opened the matching Eat Art gallery on the next floor up with an exhibition of his bread dough objects. In the \u201csouvenir shop\u201d, as he jokingly dubbed the gallery, many of his artist friends and colleagues exhibited edible artworks, among them Joseph Beuys, Dieter Roth, Andr\u00e9 Thomkins, and Robert Filliou.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>H<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Homonym Dinner<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>In 1978, Spoerri organized his \u201cHommage \u00e0 Karl Marx\u201d, a banquet to which he invited only guests who bore well-known names. Using the telephone book, he tracked down Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Richard Wagner, Friedrich Engels and many more \u201ccelebrities\u201d, with a Herr Hinz and a Herr Kunz (the German equivalent of \u201cTom, Dick and Harry\u201d) also represented. He also served suitably illustrious dishes: Schillerlocken, Mozartkugeln, Hitchcock orange juice and Bismarck herring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>I<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Island Life<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>In 1966, after almost ten years in Paris, where he had gained a foothold as an artist with Eat Art, Spoerri made a radical break: He moved with Kichka Baticheff to the remote Greek island of Symi to dedicate himself solely to cooking for an entire year. The limited range of foods available on the island, coupled with the absolute freshness of the ingredients \u2013 vegetables from the island gardens, fish caught just hours before, honey with the intense aroma of the herbs that grew in the stony ground \u2013 fueled Spoerri\u2019s creativity. He made daily notes of what he cooked and ate and subsequently published a \u201cGastronomic Diary\u201d of his trip in 1967.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zwei-bilder-mittel-mittel'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-1'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-xs-11 mobile-margin-bottom-5'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\"><figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n<script type=\"application\/json\">{\n\"id\" : 46988,\n\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-300x298.jpg\",\"width\":300,\"height\":298,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":30241},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-1024x1018.jpg\",\"width\":1024,\"height\":1018,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":240197},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-768x764.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":764,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":144539},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-1536x1527.jpg\",\"width\":1536,\"height\":1527,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":495322},\"2048x2048\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-2048x2036.jpg\",\"width\":2048,\"height\":2036,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":823755},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-440x437.jpg\",\"width\":440,\"height\":437,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":56917},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-580x577.jpg\",\"width\":580,\"height\":577,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":89683},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-720x716.jpg\",\"width\":720,\"height\":716,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":129401},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-1280x1273.jpg\",\"width\":1280,\"height\":1273,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":357859},\"full\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion-1920x1909.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":1909,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\",\"filesize\":735488},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Spoerri_RestaurantSpoerri_1972_Webversion.jpg\",\"width\":4000,\"height\":3977}},\n\"alt\" : \"Crowded table with dirt-covered plates, cutlery, and food scraps on a blue tablecloth.\",\n\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/01\\\/\",\n\"video\" : null,\n\"autoplay\" : null,\n\"youtube\" : null,\n\"youtubelabel\" : \"play\",\n\"brightness\" : 100,\n\"crop\" : null,\n\"background\" : false,\n\"scale\" : 1,\n\"zoom\" : false,\n\"annotations\" : null}<\/script>\n<div class=\"height-container \" style=\"padding-bottom:99.425%;

As waiters, he hired art critics, and at the end of every evening Spoerri selected a table that he fixed in its momentary state and then turned into one of his picture-traps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>K<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Kitchen Utensils<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Fascinated by the diversity of everyday utility items, Spoerri collected kitchen utensils over many years. When he had amassed 723 kitchen items, he decided to reduce his collection and concentrate on potato peelers: \u201cIt seemed to me that the typically Swiss virtue of thrift was expressed most perfectly and ironically in this invention.\u201d This became another collection that comprised 100 slightly varying potato peelers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>L<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for LE P\u00c2TISSIER PITTORESQUE<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Spoerri lived out his passion for food not only practically, but also in theoretical terms: In the early 1970s he began collecting cookbooks and now owns more than 800 editions, including rarities such as the signed first edition of \u201cLe p\u00e2tissier pittoresque\u201d by Marie-Antoine Car\u00eame from the year 1815.

Alongside beef steaks, he also put python schnitzel, ant omelets and snake ragout on the menu with the aim of expanding his guests\u2019 taste horizons; he created an ongoing series of picture-traps and decorated the walls with works by artist friends. More \u201cmultimedia super-happening artwork\u201d than eatery, the place quickly became a central meeting point for the local art scene.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>N<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Nouveau R\u00e9alisme<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>\u201cArt is life, life is art\u201d was the motto of Noveau R\u00e9alisme, the artistic movement Spoerri co-founded in 1960 and which included his colleagues Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely, Niki de Saint Phalle and Raymond Hains, among others. Despite huge differences in their artistic practice, the members were united by a rejection of Abstract Expressionism and a determination to approach the reality of everyday life in their work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>O<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Ordinary and Wholesome<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Spoerri prefers to eat simple, uncomplicated dishes. Michelin-starred cuisine with its strict set of rules is suspect to him, as are cookbooks with pages and pages of cooking instructions. You just need to know a few basic rules, then the cooking itself is actually pretty easy, he believes: \u201cWithout a lot of trallala \u2013 just add it, even burnt it sometimes tastes distinctive, but it just shouldn\u2019t be soggy, and if it\u2019s oversalted you can just add more water, milk, or something else.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>P<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Palindrom<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Based on the principle of the palindrome, which reads the same backwards as it does forwards, Spoerri designed a series of Eat Art banquets: He served all courses in seemingly reverse order, starting with a cigar-shaped grissini, a coffee, which was actually a consomm\u00e9 served in coffee cups, and a dessert, which looked similar to an ice cream with chocolate pralines, but actually turned out to be mashed potatoes with meatballs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>Q<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Quality Space<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>A mere 12 square meters was the size of room number 13 at the Hotel Carcassonne in Paris, into which the artist moved shortly before his thirtieth birthday. He stayed for six years and despite the cramped quarters experienced great things there: production of the first picture-traps and the birth of his identity of an artist. As an homage to this formative place, in 1998 Spoerri had the room reconstructed true-to-life in bronze, for which he nevertheless had to rely entirely on his memory, since the owner barred him entry to the hotel, which still exists today, as he was annoyed by the Spoerri fans bombarding him with questions about the famous room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>R<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for recipe (for spice balls)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>In 1970, Spoerri published the following recipe in the magazine \u201cTwen\u201d, entitled \u201cThe love balls of Sheikh Muhammad Ibn-Muhammad an-Nafzawi\u201d: \u201cCrush in a mortar: 1 teaspoon each of black and white pepper, 1 teaspoon of coriander, 3 cloves, 2 whole nutmegs, 1 pinch of mace, 2 sticks of cinnamon.

In the enormous three by two-meter rack, the artist stored not only mustard and sambal pastes, but also ketchup and various Heinz sauces, angosturas, curry, lovage, dill and hyssop powder, as well as a pack of Maggi seasoning \u2013 an \u201caroma of home\u201d that was irreplaceable for the Swiss artist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern ' data-pattern='ho\/medien-bild-zwei-bilder-mittel-mittel'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-1'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-md-5 col-xs-11 mobile-margin-bottom-5'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.spoerri.at\/templates\/yootheme\/cache\/d-spoerri_14-447c77be.webp\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_3gzU3J\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Daniel Spoerri<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spoerri.at\/de\/daniel-spoerri#Leben\">spoerri.at<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-11 col-xs-offset-1 col-md-5 col-md-offset-1'>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<figure itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" role=\"group\" aria-describedby=\"media_mJVyHD\">\n\t\t<img\n\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.spoerri.at\/templates\/yootheme\/cache\/spoerri_kuechenwerkzeuge_1721-caf83776.webp\"\n\t\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"external-image-class\"\n\t\t\/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\n\n<figcaption id=\"media_mJVyHD\">\n\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Daniel Spoerri, Il Bistro di Santa Marta.

He deliberately allows himself more time to cook than to eat and notes this accordingly as a comment on his spice ball recipe (see \u201cR is for recipe\u201d): \u201cOf course these balls take time. After all, we\u2019re not making them because we want to save time that we can use to go to the cinema, darn stockings or do whatever, but rather because we want to while away a couple of hours in the kitchen, mashing, kneading, stirring, and turning our kitchens into a laboratory of oriental scents, without forgetting to sip on a Pernod or two.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>U<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for Ugo Dossi<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>His tireless drive to continually initiate new projects led Spoerri to southern Tuscany in the early 1990s, where he began laying out a sculpture park. \u201cIl Giardino di Daniel Spoerri\u201d has now been open for more than 20 years and covers a 16-hectare site that combines 113 installations by 55 artists, many of whom have been close friends and acquaintances of Spoerri for decades.

His work \u201cGeist der Kochkunst\u201d (\u201cSpirit of the Cooking Arts\u201d), in which he called for a simple and seasonal diet and reflected on the interplay between cuisine and culture, had a lasting influence on Spoerri. He took it with him on his trip to Symi and peppered the \u201cGastronomic Diary\u201d he compiled there with quotes from the book. Apparently, the two also shared a sense of humor: They both claimed to be \u201cuniversal dilettantes\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern show-optional-headline' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-listicle'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-3 text-align-right'>\n\n<div  class='mag-listicle-number'>\t<p class='ho-sd-mag-h4'>X<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='col col-md-6 col-xs-12 padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h3' style=\"white-space: normal;\">is for \u201cX pour Yves\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body'>Ten years after the signing of the manifesto in Yves Klein\u2019s studio in Paris, the Nouveaux R\u00e9alistes dissolved their movement.

After trying his hand in his youth as a shoeshine boy, vegetable seller, trader, photographer and tour guide, he had a lightning career in the ballet \u2013 even making it to the Stadttheater Bern as a solo dancer. He also worked as a director and poet, and only afterwards devoted himself to the visual arts. Yet he remained true to his versatility and acted, often simultaneously, as a bookseller, restaurant owner, exhibition organizer, writer, and professor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class='wp-block-ho-pattern toggle-optional-headline show-optional-headline toggle-optional-button show-optional-button' data-pattern='ho\/text-magazin-exkurs-option-button'>\n\n<div  class='margin-bottom-7'>\n\n<div  class='container-fluid cf-gutter-5 cf-side-5'>\n\n<div  class='row center-xs'>\n\n<div  class='col col-xs-12 col-md-7'>\n\n<div  class='mag-exkurs container-fluid padding-top-5 padding-bottom-5 cf-side-7 cf-gutter-1'>\n\n<div  class='padding-bottom-4 ho-pattern-optional-headline'>\n<h2 class='ho-sd-mag-h5' style=\"white-space: normal;\">What do the kitchens of the artworld look like?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-div\">\t<p class='ho-sd-body-medium'>From Frida Kahlo to Gilbert &amp; George<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div  class='ho-pattern-optional-button padding-top-4'>\n\n<div  class='wp-block-ho-buttons wp-block-ho-buttons flex-layout-align-center mobile-flex-layout-align-center'>\n<div class=\"wp-block-ho-buttons-item\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schirn.de\/en\/hauptkategorie\/whats-cooking-en\/\"  target=\"\" role=\"button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ho-button is-primary\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ho-button-label \">What\u00b4s Cooking?<\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"structure-content-color\" style=\"--content-color-foreground: var(--color-fg-text-black);--content-color-background: var(--color-highlight-highlight-02);color: var(--color-fg-text-black);background: var(--color-highlight-highlight-02);\">\n<div class='structure-content-color-content'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are artists particularly creative when it comes to cooking?
