Over the decades, Swiss artist Irene Schubiger has altered the materials and forms of her sculptures inconspicuously, yet always in a fundamental and independent way.Her recent bronze casts respond to painted plaster, ceramics, or offhandedly sharp combinations of plastics and papers.Solid bodies on plinths stand next to unprotected objects. This multi-perspective portrait of Schubiger’s art features numerous works created since 2019.Illustrated largely with full-page colour plates, the book shows an artist who, after the dissolution of modern guidelines and convictions, repeatedly finds enchanting certainty in her free handling of a wide variety of materials. Text in English and German.
