Welcome to CollectAR, Lehmann Maupin’s platform for showcasing art in Augmented Reality (AR).
Our latest project features artist Erwin Wurm’s large-scale sculpture Ghost, debuting in conjunction with the inaugural edition of Frieze Seoul.
The augmented reality artwork is modeled after the artist’s physical sculpture, which is made of aluminum and stands three meters high.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• On iPhones, use Safari. On Android devices, use Google Chrome.
Ghost features a flattened and anthropomorphized set of clothing and shoes (without a visible body), with a subtle, animated breeze rippling through the clothes. The work extends Wurm’s sculptural practice into the realm of technology and continues to pursue themes crucial to the artist’s visual and conceptual language, including absurdity versus the mundane, clothing as a second skin, and the body as sculptural medium. At the crux of these concerns, and especially in digital format, Wurm questions the definition and pushes the possibilities of sculpture itself, and how the objects we interact with every day define us.
