On View: Urs Fischer's Untitled (Lamp/Bear)

Urs Fischer's Untitled (Lamp/Bear) is a highlight of Christie's Post-War & Contemporary Art Evening Sale on 11 May 2011. The monumental cast bronze sculpture, combining a canary yellow teddy bear, everyone’s cherished childhood keepsake, with a bedroom desk lamp, brightly celebrates the objects that define a young child’s life. For the first time, Christie’s has partnered with the owners of the Seagram Building, the architectural masterpiece by Mies van der Rohe in midtown Manhattan, to mount a five-month outdoor exhibition of the sculpture on the building’s plaza so that the city at large might enjoy this special glimpse into the creative genius of one of today’s most provocative young artists.
