Empire Towers, 1985
Stainless steel, anodized aluminum, electric lights, 16 ft. x 5 ft. diameter. These two stainless steel sculptures are seminal works in the career of this nationally recognized artist. They were commissioned by Carl Solway as a means of encouraging the artist to work on a large scale. As a result of creating these towers, the artist has subsequently received commissions to create major works for the Massachusetts State House in Boston and gateways for Battery Park, New York City and MacArthur Park, Los Angeles. Most recently, he has completed sculptures for the roof of the Kansas City Convention Center that have become landmarks of the Kansas City skyline.

In addition to many important museum exhibitions in this country, the artist has had a one-person exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. Most of Fischer's sculptures include "light" as an element. Empire Towers has interior lighting that emanates from the 4,000 drilled holes in the sculpture.
