Berlinische Galerie Presents Erwin Wurm Exhibition with Narrow House and Drawing Première
The Facts
On April 15, 2026, Berlinische Galerie announced an exhibition of works by Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, featuring his signature Narrow House—a compressed reconstruction of his parents' home reduced to just over one meter in depth. The exhibition also includes several of Wurm's One Minute Sculptures, which invite visitors to adopt unusual poses using everyday objects. A third section presents a comprehensive display of Wurm's drawings, marking the first time this body of work has been shown in its entirety.
The Signal
The exhibition positions Wurm's practice within the broader evolution of sculpture and performance art, highlighting his long-standing interest in compressing everyday experience into conceptual forms. The inclusion of the drawings, rarely exhibited, offers collectors and curators a deeper view of the artist's process, while the Narrow House and One Minute Sculptures reaffirm his influence on the boundary between object and action. For a museum dedicated to modern art, the show underscores Berlinische Galerie's commitment to presenting pivotal figures in contemporary sculpture.
