Founded in Zurich in 1984, PARKETT is an art journal like no other. In more than eighty issues over the past twenty-seven years, it has produced limited edition works with many of the most important artists of our time. Taken together, these 213 works by 192 artists offer a collective portrait of the situation and evolution of art at the turn of the twenty-first century. The works cover every possible medium including painting, photography, drawing, print, sculpture, video, and sound. Some represent the essence of a given artist’s work; others reveal an unexpected dimension. Installed across three spaces at UCCA in the form of a house, the exhibition “Inside a Book a House of Gold” takes its name from a saying by the most artistic of Chinese emperors, Song Huizong. The works are divided and exhibited according to the logic of domestic space, with a Urs Fischer, Sigh, Sigh, Sherlock!, fiberglass reinforced plaster cast, partially painted, 36 1/4 x 12 5/8 x 12 5/8" (92 x 32 x 32 cm), cast by Kunstgiesserei Felix Lehner, St. Gall, Switzerland, Ed. 45/XXV, signed and numbered, 2004.
