Spoerri, Daniel | Collage 2 - E, 2017 — available on Composition Gallery

View in a Room

// Collage 2 - E by Daniel Spoerri, a 2017 collage on paper, showcases the artist’s playful approach to mixed media and abstraction. In this piece, a fluid, red brushstroke arcs across the composition, giving a sense of motion and spontaneity. An element of texture is added with a fabric patch featuring a blue letter e, positioned near a circular stamp marked Oeuvre d'Art and Daniel Spoerri. Spoerri’s signature appears in the lower corner, grounding the work with his personal mark. The combination of stamp, textural patch, and sweeping red stroke invites viewers to consider the interplay between language, texture, and gestural expression.

Daniel Spoerri (Switzerland, 1930–2024) was a pioneering artist and writer, best known for his 'snare-pictures'—assemblages capturing everyday objects, notably meal remnants, affixed to surfaces and displayed vertically. A key figure in the Nouveau Réalisme movement, he also founded the Eat Art movement, exploring the intersection of art and gastronomy. Spoerri's works are featured in major institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Centre Pompidou.

When I had the money, I immediately associated art to food. Before the banquet comes food, then the kitchen, the restaurant and then the ‘Eat Art’.
- Daniel Spoerri

Daniel Spoerri is a Swiss artist who is well known for his art, snare-pictures. In this signature, Spoerri details a collection of objects notably meal remains, glasses, plates, and silverware secured on a board or table then depicted on a wall. As a young man, Spoerri developed an interest in dance and decided to join Olga Preobrajenska to study classical dance in 1950. He then went on to become the lead dancer at the State Opera of Bern in Switzerland in 1954. Subsequent years saw him stage a variety of avant-garde plays among them being the Bald Soprano, and the Desire Trapped by the Tail. In 1960, Spoerri came up with his first ever snare picture, and it is this same year that he came to be among the signatories that fostered the manifesto of New Realism. He also authored a book which he referred to as the Anecdoted Topography of Chance which was an annotation of the objects in his rooms. Daniel currently stays in Tuscany in Italy. (Artist website)

What is Fluxus?

Derived from the Latin word meaning flow, Fluxus is an international movement of designers, composers, and artists known for blending various artistic disciplines and media during the 1960s. The movement remains active in visual art, performance, design, architecture, urban planning, and other creative fields. Fluxus is sometimes referred to as nter-media and continues to play a pivotal role in expanding the definitions of what art can be.
