ABSTRACT: ONWARD AND UPWARD WITH THE ARTS about Urs Fischer.

Urs Fischer, the thirty-six-year-old Swiss artist, lives with his American girlfriend, Cassandra MacLeod, in a loft apartment on Bond Street. Any day now, they were expecting their first baby. Fischer was also getting ready for his first New York museum show, which will open on October 28th, 2009, at the New Museum of Contemporary Art.

Fischer's art, like Fischer himself, is highly memorable but hard to pin down. It consists, for the most part, of three-dimensional objects made from materials not usually associated with art. Fischer's Bread House (2004-05) is just what the title says: a life-size one-room alpine chalet whose walls and roof are made from bread loaves in various shapes and sizes. The writer saw it in 2007, in an exhibition at the Deste Foundation, in Athens.
