Summary:

Featuring over one hundred works and documentation of forty exhibitions and installations both public and private, Urs Fischer presents six years of work in a substantial volume, 'Sculptures 2013-2018'. Arranged chronologically, this book allows the reader to follow Fischer's developments in form and his frequent adventure into whimsy. The artist's instinct for design is evident not only in his individual works but also in his clarity of vision for a space, beautifully illustrated in this volume. Sculpture inherently has physical presence and Fischer utilizes this to manipulate the viewer's perception of reality. Encountering the immense and the minuscule, the ever-changing and the static, a viewer must reconcile with his or her own presence in time. Experience significant ephemeral, collaborative and interactive works in context in over 400 pages plus gatefold inserts.
