/internal/media/dispatcher/29283/fullFortieth Human Situation: Being a Parisian!1964[Curt Stenvert]Curt StenvertCollagierte Schaufensterpuppe, Plastikblumen, Spielzeugautos, Holz, verschiedene Materialien A mannequin is standing in a wooden box—life-sized and covered with views of Paris. Artificial flowers, toy cars, and plastic frogs are strewn at her feet. The subject of this assemblage is how people are totally consumed by the artificial construct of an urban world. What does a city do to us? How is human perception manipulated or even distorted by the daily onslaught of information and impressions? Although unrecognized in Austria, Viennese artist Curt Stenvert gained international acclaim with his object art. From the 1960s he explored a series of “Human Situations” with the aim of stimulating reflection and reappraisal.Object art© Bildrecht, Wien 2026https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/17781/rdf
