In his 2014 work Julien, artist Urs Fischer created a larger than life-sized wax replica of his friend, painter and filmmaker Julian Schnabel.

The work features a wick at the top of the figure's head, transforming it into a figurative candle. When the wick is lit, the sculpture becomes a durational performance, where over the course of weeks, the candle melts into long streaking drips of wax, ultimately liquefying into a pool. Upon doing so, a new cast of the figure is made, to be lit again.

Urs Fischer (B. 1973) Julian, 2014. 100 1/8 x 42 3/8 x 53 3/4 in. (254.3 x 107.6 x 136.5 cm.) Estimate $2,800,000-3,500,000.

Post-War and Contemporary Evening Sale – 17 May at Christie's New York.
