Solo exhibition
Ludwig Museum, Koblenz
05.09 - 23.11.2025


Famous for having long challenged the boundaries of sculpture, Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, born in 1954, keeps transforming this traditional medium into something more fluid, participatory, and playfully subversive. The title of his exhibition at the Ludwig Museum suggests that Wurm embraces life – its energy, temporality, movement, ironic and tragic aspects, as well as its fragility and gentleness – as central components of his art. In this sense “Life Beat Soft Melt” can be read as a manifesto, encapsulating the full range of sculptural concepts that Wurm investigates.
