Summary:

"Urs Fischer: Monumental Sculptures brings together the Swiss-born, New York-based artist's large-scale sculptural works from the past twenty-five years. Mining the potential of a myriad of materials-from clay, bronze, and stainless steel to bread, dirt, and produce-Fischer creates works that disorient and bewilder. Through scale distortions, illusion, and the juxtaposition of common objects, his sculptures and installations investigate themes of perception and representation while maintaining a witty irreverence and mordant humor. As soon as Fischer accomplishes one material feat, he embarks on another, in ways that are complicated and playful, messy and perfected. An essay by Róisín Tapponi considers the poetics of Fischer's sculptural practice, while a conversation between the artist and curator Jessica Morgan examines the production processes he has explored in his work"-- Provided by publisher.
