Exclusive offers and news in Rome

The Gagosian Gallery in Rome opens the new exhibition of Urs Fischer, the Swiss artist who ranks among the leading figures of global contemporary art. Fischer, known for transforming everyday materials - from wax to bread, from fruit to aluminum - into provocative and impermanent sculptures, plays on the boundary between appearance and dissolution, inviting us to reflect on time, memory, and perception. In his first solo show in Rome in over a decade, Fischer presents Body (2025), a polyurethane and velvet sculpture that challenges proportion and gravity, balancing irony with disorientation. Trained in photography in Zurich and active in New York, Berlin, and Los Angeles, Fischer has built a career where the everyday becomes enigmatic and uncanny - think of his Problem Paintings, where a portrait is obscured by eggs or by candles melting in real time.
Just a few months ago in Gstaad, Fischer was the focus of Easy Solutions & Problems, an exhibition satirizing the world of click-driven online advertising, using kitsch and provocative images. In those works, chumbox-style visuals and sensationalist captions intertwined, exposing both the power - and the absurdity - of contemporary visual communication. With After Nature, Fischer once again unsettles us with sophisticated ease. His works fuse sardonic humor with technical mastery, creating environments where viewers find no certainties but instead discover new forms of wonder.
