In May 2023, in Bucharest, MoBU is dedicating a long-awaited retrospective to master Daniel Spoerri. The artist was born on 27 March 1930, in Galați. In 1942, he took refuge in his mother’s native Switzerland with his family, after his father had been arrested and assassinated by the Nazi regime a year before. Later on, he becomes a principal dancer at the Bern Opera House, a visual artist, sculptor, university professor in Germany, book author. He conceptualized the snare picture, which he defined as follows: "objects, which are found in randomly orderly or disorderly situations, are mounted on whatever they are found on (table, box, drawer, etc.) in the exact constellation they are found in(...)". The invention of the snare picture marks the beginning of his career as a visual artist. He exhibited his snare pictures for the first time at the «Festival d'art d'avantgarde'' in Paris in 1960 and continued to conceive and present them for more than thirty years. Spoerri is one of the founders of Nouveau Réalisme (the New Realism movement), also started in 1960, with a joint manifesto he signed alongside the likes of Yves Klein, Arman, Francois Dufrêne, Raymond Hains, Pierre Restany, Jean Tinguely and Jacques de la Villeglé; later others joined.
