Lot Essay

In seinem Atelier in Zürich-Oerlikon schuf Franz Fischer zahlreiche Freiplastiken und Werke für Kunst am Bau. Sowohl das Wandrelief an der Fassade der UBS am Paradeplatz in Zürich, als auch das Bronzeportal Menschen im Konferenzsaal der WHO in Genf stammen von ihm. Fischer nahm zu Lebzeiten an wichtigen Ausstellungen, wie der Landi 1939 in Zürich und der Weltausstellung im gleichen Jahr in New York, teil.

In his studio in Zurich, Franz Fischer created numerous outdoor sculptures and works of public art. He created both the wall relief on the facade of the UBS at the Paradeplatz in Zurich and the bronze portal Menschen in the conference hall of the WHO in Geneva. During his lifetime, Fischer took part in major exhibitions such as the national exposition, Landi, in 1939 in Zurich and the world exhibition in the same year in New York.
