Sadie Coles HQ (London) showed work by Urs Fischer and Wilhelm Sasnal at Art Basel Miami Beach 2014.
Sadie Coles HQ, and Fischer's Small Rain specifically, were possibly the most photographed at Art Basel Miami Beach 2014. Fischer's piece just makes any photo--taken with a high end camera by a real photographer or by a cell phone--look grand and surreal. It is a beautiful installation and a clever one too.
It also prevented me from getting decent photos of the numerous other pieces shown in the gallery's booth--excepting Sasnal's untitled piece. This pastoral piece is a wonderful bridging of the ever-present gap between realism and the abstract. It is a painting that makes you see something new every time you look at it, even in a photograph. An exhibit of Sasnal's work is going on NOW at the gallery in London.
