The pickle is a recurring figure in Erwin Wurm’s work. In 2008, he created an installation titled ''Selbstportra?t all Gurken'' (Self-portrait in pickles). To compose the piece, he emptied a jar of pickles, encapsulating each one with painted resin, and placing them on individual pedestals.

Each condiment was then photographed following the same protocol. The artist’s book ''Self-portrait as 47 Pickles'' presents this series of photographs.
