Catalogue Note
“There are no limits to Fischer’s perceptions and psychological penetration of our contemporary soul. His delight in acquiring knowledge via the senses can only be described as Baroque, focusing on reality throughout the 360 degrees of its compass.” (Bice Curiger in Exh. Cat., New York, New Museum, Urs Fischer, Shovel in a Hole, 2009, p. 16)
