Summary: Hirschhorn's work is distinguished by a synthesis of sculptural concern, political commitment and critical thought. Most of the Swiss artist's works have been temporary and carried out in public. These include, among others, the 'Bataille Monument', which he created in 2002 during the documenta 11 exhibition in Kassel; as well as the street altars he constructed in various cities and dedicated to artists such as Piet Mondrian and Ingeborg Bachmann.
