Spoerri founded a restaurant serving unusual food, where he became famous for gluing the plates to the tables. In the 1990s he had a one man show at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, France.

Spoerri has often had to remind critics that the trapping of a moment of existence is the death of that moment: a fact that seems self-evident given the title of the first picture-trap, The Resting Place of the Delbeck Family.
Spoerri obviously pushed Arman's critique a tad further with his bread works by undermining the legitimizing function of the exhibition catalogue, while re-addressing questions surrounding "multiples" and "originals" touched upon with the MAT Editions: the catalogues themselves, although all based on a similar idea, are nevertheless unique objects.
