Throughout his wide-ranging conceptual practice, Wim Delvoye shocks, intrigues, entertains, and otherwise prods conventions of taste and propriety. Delvoye’s irreverent work spans sculpture, drawing, photography, performance, and more avant-garde approaches to artmaking. Among his most famous works is a series of exhibitions centered on tattooed pigs; he has displayed dried pigskins on walls and placed live pigs in gallery spaces. The artist has also made sculptures by adorning mundane objects such as cement mixers, shovels, and gas cylinders with decorative Delft patterning, and constructed a mechanical digestive system that produces real feces within exhibition spaces. Delvoye has exhibited in Hong Kong, New York, Basel, Seoul, Paris, and Brussels. His work has sold for six figures at auction and belongs in the collections of the Guggenheim Museum, the Centre Pompidou, the Stedelijk Museum, the Louvre, and the S.M.A.K. Museum of Contemporary Art.
