★Urs Fischer
(born 2 May 1973)
Swiss-born contemporary visual artist living in New York City
Education and early career:
Born to two doctors as the second of two children in 1973
Fischer began his career in Switzerland where he studied photography at the Schule für Gestaltung, Zurich.
After the basic, first-year course in art and design, he enrolled in the school's photography department, and supported himself by working as a bouncer at Zurich night clubs and house parties.
Fischer moved to Amsterdam in 1993, at the age of nineteen, and had his first solo show at a gallery in Zurich in 1996.
He later lived in London, Los Angeles, and Berlin before moving to New York.
In Berlin and New York, he shared studios with fellow artist Rudolf Stingel.
Fischer works across sculpture, photography, drawing, painting and publishing. The artist employs a variety of materials and processes in his work, resulting in an oeuvre that “resists easy classification”.
His subversive approach to art is often considered to be influenced by anti-art movements like Neo-Dada, Lost Art, or the Situationist International.
Since Fischer began showing his work in Europe in the mid-1990s, he has produced an enormous number of objects, drawings, collages, and room-size installations.
Fischer has been described by the arts and culture magazine Vault as “internationally celebrated” and one of the most significant contemporary artists working today
