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.
