The Kunstmuseum St.Gallen presents a major retrospective of the Swiss artist Urs Frei (1958–2023), who found international success in the 1990s. His radical works, made from everyday building and packaging materials such as wood, metal, cardboard, and plastic, move between painting, sculpture, and object. Urs Frei’s oeuvre stands in a lineage of artists working with humble, provisional materials— an approach that today is experiencing a notable revival among many young artists internationally.
