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 color 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.
