B. Wurtz

B. Wurtz was born in 1948 in Pasadena, California and lives and works in New York. Over the past four decades, Wurtz has been making intimate sculptural works from familiar, utilitarian objects; papier-mâché assemblages balance atop readymade polystyrene plinths, sculptures made using straws, plastic cups and bottle tops delicately attached by pieces of string, aluminium pan paintings and socks sewn to raw canvas exemplify the breadth of his repertoire. He embraces, subverts and reinvents objects which are so familiar that they are almost invisible in our day to day lives.
