Urs-Fischer-Untitled-Lamp-Bear-Seagram-Building-Christies-Park-Avenue-NYC

In 2011, Urs Fischer’s art installation featuring a 23-foot tall bear lying against a lamp welcomed visitors into the Seagram Building. The bear’s bright yellow color and rugged appearance starkly contrasting with the Seagram Building’s pitch black, sleek exterior. Fischer returned last year to the Seagram Building plaza with the sculpture Big Clay #4.
