Maria Anwander height - How tall is Maria Anwander?

In 2013, Anwander stated that "my work mainly questions authenticity of artworks and the gap between the art-market and the artist as participator." She adds that "my latest works deal with issues of collecting, ownership and authorship. Hereby I'm highly interested in the creation of notional images by removing other already existing images. The dematerialization and deconstruction of images into pure descriptions of themselves and vice versa is part of my deliberations."

In 2012, Anwander staged an intervention and placed a block of limestone weighing two tons in the city centre of Luxembourg.

In 2010, Anwander entered the MoMA as a regular visitor and, unauthorized, French-kissed a wall she had chosen. She then affixed a label identical to the labels used by MoMA, explaining her rationale and explaining that she "uses art institutions as forums where hierarchical, social and economic models can be tested and reimagined. This piece is a part of a series of artworks and performances, which Anwander has developed since 2004, playing with the link between art institutions and market."
