Galerie Buchholz in Cologne is presenting a group exhibition featuring works by Elie Nadelman, Peter Fischli, and David Weiss, running from April 10 to May 23, 2026. The show brings together the early 20th-century modernist sculpture of Nadelman with the conceptual, often humorous installations of the Swiss duo Fischli/Weiss, creating a dialogue across generations and artistic movements.
This exhibition matters because it juxtaposes two distinct artistic sensibilities—Nadelman's refined, classical modernism and Fischli/Weiss's playful, everyday-object-based conceptualism—highlighting unexpected continuities in sculpture and material culture. By pairing these artists, Galerie Buchholz invites viewers to reconsider how form, humor, and the mundane intersect in art history, offering a fresh curatorial perspective that bridges early modern and contemporary practices.
