DANIEL SPOERRI


«Tableau Piège» / Snare-pictureafter 1960Daniel Spoerri gave the following definition: objects, which are found in randomly orderly or disorderly situations, are mounted on whatever they are found on (table, box, drawer, etc.) in the exact constellation they are found in(...). By declaring the result to be a tableau, the horizontal becomes vertical. For example: the leftovers of a meal are mounted on the table and the table is then hung on a wall (...)”.The invention of the “snare-picture” marks the beginning of Spoerri’s career as a visual artist. Snare-pictures were first exhibited at the «Festival d’art d’avantgarde», in Paris, Nov.18 – Dec. 1960.


Tableau Piège, Restaurant Spoerri,

1968 - 1972

„Restaurant Spoerri“ that opened on June 18, 1968 was very popular.Aside from the unusual food, the art concept of the locality was convincing. For example, >„Fallenbilder“ (Snare pictures) were made to order, this means, the table at which one had eaten, could be fixed and mounted on request and bought as a work of art. Since Daniel Spoerri was still concerning himself with Eat Art, it was just logical to add an „Eat Art“ gallery to the restaurant. It was opened on September 18, 1970 in the space above the restaurant.Eat Art objects of well-known artists were exhibited. Among them: Joseph Beuys, Richard Lindner, Bernhard Luginbühl, Karl Gerstner, André Thomkins, César, Roy Lichtenstein, Ugo Dossi
