On view in Tokyo: Urs Fischer: Machigai Sagashi - Spot the Difference
Fergus McCaffrey Tokyo
Apr 11 - Jul 4, 2026
Closed on Sun, Mon, Holidays

Known for installations that unsettle everyday perception through shifts of scale, spatial disorientation, and material transformation, in playful and almost surreal way, Urs Fischer has been the subject of major solo exhibitions and public projects worldwide, including presentations at the Venice Biennale, the Pinault Collection, LACMA, and Museo Jumex, as well as monumental public commissions at Hamad International Airport and Place Vendôme, just to name a few. This show marks his first solo exhibition in Japan.

Fischer employs humor and the improbable to encourage serious philosophical discussions about painting and sculpture, wrapped in disarming clothing. The artist’s first exhibition at Fergus McCaffrey Tokyo is titled after the game Spot the Difference and in it timeless existential themes are cast in wax to be melted, while playful ideas are poured in bronze and made permanent.

We will present Night Moves (2016) by Urs Fischer at Art Basel Hong Kong. In this work, the artist’s own face is transferred onto aluminum panels, fragmented, and reconstructed as an image liberated from the signifier of “the self.”
We will also exhibit a rare large-scale work, Black Vein, by Kazuo Shiraga (born 1924), in which the entire surface is covered with layers of melanin putty. Its counterpart is held in the collection of the Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art.
In addition, the presentation includes paintings from the 1960s “Shadow” series by Jiro Takamatsu (born 1936); the video work My Face by Shigeko Kubota (born 1937), which will be presented publicly for the first time; works by Toshiro Yoshida (born 1928) and Chiyu Uemae (born 1920); paintings by Katherine Jacobs (born 1958), who creates dreamlike imagery by transferring tree patterns onto canvas; works by Carol Rama (born 1918), who was the subject of major retrospective exhibitions last year at the Aspen Art Museum and the Kunstmuseum Bern; and a group of 1970s drawings and photographic works by Birgit Jürgenssen (born 1949), a key figure in Vienna’s feminist movement, whose works from the same series were presented at the Venice Biennale.
