Urs Fischer: Ice Cream Truck Democracy

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.

Life is one long decay, no? There's a lot of beauty in it, like the patina in an old city.

—Urs FischerBEVERLY HILLS, March 1, 2023—Gagosian is pleased to announce Ice Cream Truck Democracy, an exhibition of paintings by #ursfischer opening in Beverly Hills on March 9. In this new series of works, which occupies a range of sizes and formats, Fischer combines silkscreened, hand-painted, and hand-stenciled imagery, applying a collage-like aesthetic to his personal observations of Los Angeles.

Rather than aiming for a comprehensive portrait of the city, Fischer evokes the experience of moving—by car, bike, or foot—through a visually rich and ever-changing metropolitan environment that is impossible to pin down through singular, static depiction. Incorporating fragments of his own photographs, his new paintings blend figuration and abstraction, reflecting a characteristically American preference for the fragmented and the episodic over central or iconic imagery. Each complex urban landscape tells, in Fischer's phrase, "a tale of ten cities."

Urs Fischer was born in Zurich and lives and works in New York. Collections include the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of #contemporaryart, Los Angeles; Fondation Carmignac, Paris; Vanhaerents Art Collection, Brussels; Kunstmuseum Basel; FRAC Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Marseille, France; Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich; and Museo d'arte della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, Switzerland.
