Collection: Urs Fischer

Urs Fischer (b. 1973, Zurich) is a Swiss artist based in New York whose practice spans sculpture, installation, painting, drawing and photography. Known for works that combine formal precision with absurdist humour and material instability — melting wax figures, excavated gallery floors, oversized food objects, candles cast from human bodies — his work operates at the intersection of the monumental and the ephemeral. He has exhibited widely at major institutions and biennials internationally, and has collaborated extensively with collectors, curators and other artists on exhibition and publication projects.

The objects gathered here are printed ephemera and publications relating to Fischer’s exhibition history: catalogues, artist books and printed matter issued for presentations of his work. Each piece records a specific institutional moment and the printed form through which his practice entered public circulation.
