Urs Fischer: Lovers

Apr 2 – Sept 18, 2022
Blvd. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 303, Granada, 11520 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico

The Swiss-born artist Urs Fischer often brings a subversive wink to his art. Most recently, for the opening of the newly restored Bourse de Commerce, his wax sculpture of Giambologna’s The Abduction of the Sabine Women was placed under the building’s majestic domed roof and left to slowly melt away. In 2004, he constructed a chalet out of loaves of bread, and in 2005, a 20-ton bear in bronze. “Urs Fischer: Lovers,” a large-scale exhibition at Museo Jumex, traces two decades of the artist’s radical career, reaching from his early days in Switzerland to his contemporary work in New York. —Elena Clavarino
