Urs Fischer

Money Bowl

2000

A sculptural bowl rendered in the likeness of currency, merging the utilitarian object of everyday domestic life with the symbolic weight of wealth and economic exchange. Fischer's work plays with notions of value, consumption, and desire, collapsing the boundary between container and content. The piece carries the artist's characteristic wit, inviting viewers to consider the absurdity and seduction embedded in material culture.
