Urs Fischer

Urs Fischer, born in 1973 in Zurich, Switzerland, is a prominent figure in the realm of contemporary art, known for his large-scale sculptures and installations that often possess a surreal or playful quality. His works dynamically engage with space and materials, often incorporating everyday objects, deconstruction, and decay. Fischer's oeuvre spans from objects such as melting wax sculptures to excavated gallery floors. His provocative style has been the focal point of exhibitions at major institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Palazzo Grassi in Venice, and the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow. His unpredictable and transformative approach challenges the conventional boundaries of art, often leaving viewers intrigued and in contemplation.
