Kunstmuseum St.Gallen hosts first retrospective of Urs Frei

Three years posthumously, the Kunstmuseum St.Gallen showcases the inaugural retrospective of Swiss artist Urs Frei (1958–2023). Recognized as a pivotal figure among his contemporaries, Frei captured global interest during the 1990s. His artistic creations incorporate common materials such as wood, metal, cardboard, and plastic, seamlessly merging abstract painting, sculpture, and object art. This exhibition emphasizes his distinctive exploration of fragility, balance, and the creative process, featuring significant collections that reflect his extensive four-decade artistic journey.
