Austrian artist Erwin Wurm is a chubby chaser. Well, not so much a chubby chaser as a chubby maker.
And when we say "chubby," we mean "fleshy, volumnous sculptures."
These are from Wurm's 'Fat Cars' series:
And if you got to drive one of these babies, you'd have no excuse but to keep it parked safely in front of Wurm's 'Fat House':
Unfortunately for us, we can safely that there's one art fan out of New York who's already got his hands on Wurm's work, and won't be letting go any time soon:

obviously these people are to critical on a rare form of great new art, and are not artist themselves, lacking appreciation of art itself.

These cars rock. They're funny and they speak to my inner pomo art nerd at the same time. Or whatever the latest trendy theories are (seriously they are cool though.)

by:// Moraous - Jan 8th 2009
Oddly enough... I think I would have the balls to drive it, only because I'm a twig and it may make me look bigger. Either that or it would eat me alive. O_O. And for the record, I stumbled it too :D
