Has Erwin Wurm's Art Gained Weight?

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:

I have A wife like that too! I too keep her in the garage wehere she belongs she too got toooo FAT my friends run when they see her as they r afraid of getting run over and smashed like a pancake. I can't help butt wonder if the designer's wife is as mine and he did this to glorify her ezcessive weight problem, You know there has to be a reason for someone to go to such extremes, I think he was ion fear of gettin squashed by wife.It reminds of a similar situation my brother was in rest his soul' He got squashed.Funny thing they say he was hit by a car!!!Whatch out designer you might get hit by a car, or should I say smashed.And please don't tell me u named 1 after ur wife,My bro made that same mistake rest his soul.

I kinda like them. Who would have thought of something like this I know I wouldn't. Yeah they aren't that pretty but alot of high class cars are ugly mass of eye soars. Art is an expression of someones inner self most abstract art thats worth anything is kinda out there in one way or another anyway. I'd drive it for sure.
