Roland Fischer

Roland Fischer’s work occupies an important position in the art of the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries. He has been the first to project the art of portrait photography into a monumental format from 1980 onward — and thus invest it with a new pictoriality. His subjects are humanity and the places where it exists. Today, Roland Fischer has established his presence all over our globalized world. It is not only his studios in Munich and Beijing, but also his galleries in the US and Europe, that make this clear. The exhibition in the Saarland.Museum assembles an extensive and important body of work, which also deals with the subject of the globalized nature of our civilization. (Meinrad Maria Grewenig). Roland Fischer‘s work has already been shown in 120 museums and art institutions worldwide, among them more than 40 solo exhibitions including the Musée d’art Moderne in Paris, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Saarland Museum, CGAC in Santiago de Compostela, The Photographers Gallery in London (...) http://www.rolandfischer.com/about/
