It documents works that use subtractive gestures such as cutting holes in walls or digging into the ground, as well as the \u003ci\u003eBig Clays\u003c\/i\u003e series of monumental public sculptures, in which a simple creative gesture is materialized at architectural scale.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShipped with a printed cardboard support to protect its die-cut front cover, the book features an introductory essay by Róisín Tapponi that delves into Fischer’s poetics; a conversation between Jessica Morgan and the artist that examines his interest in scale and traces the evolution of his production processes; and entries on the artworks by book editor Priya Bhatnagar.","brand":"Gagosian \/ Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48233816555749,"sku":"NP9781951449759","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781951449759.jpg?v=1767743334","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/urs-fischer-monumental-sculpture-isbn-9781951449759","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
