Gurken, Public sculpture in Furtwänglerpark, Salzburg, Austria
Five large green gherkin sculptures emerge from the ground in a row, transforming ordinary pickles into monumental forms that reach human height.
Created in 2011 by Austrian artist Erwin Wurm, the Gurken sculptures became part of the Salzburg Walk of Modern Art collection.
The installation represents contemporary Austrian art through the transformation of everyday objects into large-scale public sculptures that engage viewers.
The sculptures remain accessible throughout the year in Furtwänglerpark, situated across from the Festival Hall in central Salzburg.
Each gherkin sculpture maintains individual characteristics while emerging directly from the tarmac, creating an illusion of growth from the ground.
