A new comprehensive overview of the witty, whimsical and ingenious sculpture of Urs FischerBeautifully illustrated and elegantly bound, this 602-page volume is the first overview of New York-based artist Urs Fischer (born 1973) since 2009's Shovel in a Hole. The book includes selected works thoughtfully arranged according to common threads, spanning from the beginning of Fischer's career and concluding with his capstone NFT series, CHAOS.A spotlight on earlier works and notations provide context for Fischer's oeuvre. The book offers a holistic view of his career to date, showing how ideas have been nurtured over time. His sense of playfulness, humor and wry self-awareness permeates the book, with more than 700 full-color images.
Mina Stone has been cooking delicious lunches at Urs Fischer¿s studio for the past five years and producing private gallery dinners in the New York art world since 2006. Cooking for Artists presents more than seventy of Stone¿s family-style recipes inspired by her Greek heritage and her love of simple, fresh, seasonal food. The book is designed by Fischer and includes drawings by Hope Atherton, Darren Bader, Matthew Barney, Alex Eagleton, Urs Fischer, Cassandra MacLeod, Elizabeth Peyton, Rob Pruitt, Peter Regli, Josh Smith, Spencer Sweeney, and Philippos Theodorides¿all members of the community of artists that delights in Stone¿s cooking.
Painter, DJ and nightlife promoter Spencer Sweeney (born 1973) has been an indelible and essential part of New York City's cultural landscape for almost two decades, connecting to longstanding roots in the city's music, art and life after dark. While many mourn the loss of the NYC they love, Sweeney has never fallen out of love with his city. This huge but affordable volume is filled with the evidence: pages of fascinating interviews with fellow faithfuls such as Alex Bag, Larry Clark, Abel Ferrara, John Giorno, Mary Heilmann, Harmony Korine, Johan Kugelberg, Jim Lambie, Glenn O'Brien, Will Oldham, Elizabeth Peyton, Rob Pruitt and Tony Shafrazi; archival photos documenting the countless moments, both legendary and obscure; and of course, hundreds of Sweeney's colorful paintings that synthesize life in New York in the second decade of the new century.
"Urs Fischer" provides an overview of the Swiss artist's heterogeneous oeuvre and features many of his best-known works. Designed and conceived by Fischer, the book is arranged thematically rather than chronologically, with clusters of works that allow the reader to observe how Fischer has explored disparate formal strategies to engage with his multifarious interests--which include gravity, architecture, shadows, representation, destruction, entropy and time--and revisit favorite motifs, such as furniture, fruit, animals, skeletons and other surrogates for his cardinal subject, the human body, over the past decade and a half. Produced for his retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, this hefty volume includes essays by Jessica Morgan and Ulrich Lehmann that unpack the dominant thematics in Fischer's work and examine the significance of the materials and production techniques in his sculptural practice.
