"Broschiertes BuchDieses Künstlerbuch des international renommierten Schweizer Duos Fischli / Weiss ist Fragen gewidmet, die sich jeder ab und zu stellt: Ist das Leben ein seltsames Höhlensystem? , Gibt es zuviel des Guten? oder Driftet alles auseinander? , Wie wirke ich? , Soll ich untertauchen? oder Bin ich ein Sonderling? , Was denkt mein Hund? , Woist mein Bett? oder Spürt sie es? . Es sind keine Wissensfragen, sondern Fragen, die un ..."
"Photography has become an increasingly pervasive medium of choice in contemporary art practice and is even employed at times by artists who do not necessarily consider themselves to be photographers. How did this come to be? The Last Picture Show will address the emergence of this phenomenon of artists using photography by tracing the development of conceptual trends in postwar photographic practice from its first glimmerings in the 60s ..."

"Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012) are celebrated around the world for their multidisciplinary projects, films, sculptures and books. The two artists began producing their "Polyurethane Objects" in 1982, and continued until Weiss tragically died in 2012 from cancer. Hand-carved and hand-painted, these sculptural works overturn the notion of the readymade while uncovering wit and poetry in everyday things. Edited and s ..."
"Over 50 original full-color artworks address newly translated writings of Robert Walser A Little Ramble: In the Spirit of Robert Walser is a project initiated by the gallerist Donald Young, who saw in Walser an exemplary figure through whom connections between art and literature could be discussed anew. He invited a group of artists to respond to Walser’s writing. A Little Ramble is a result of that collaboration. The artists have chose ..."
"Throughout his career, Douglas Gordon has engaged in an ongoing reflection on the motion picture, examining the relationship between the movies and our common knowledge and perception of them. In altering, monumentalizing, and alienating our collective understanding of film, he visualizes, pictures, and "sculpts" time. Douglas Gordon, which was organized by MoMA curator Klaus Biesenbach, collects images and texts from the past 40 years ..."

These holdings reflect the Center's renowned multidisciplinary program, and include paintings, sculpture, prints, photography, film, video, installations, and digital arts that range in date from classic early modernist to cutting edge contemporary ..."
"Damien Hirst's Alone Yet Together, a pseudoscientific installation of fish suspended in formaldehyde in small, identical glass boxes, graces the cover of this volume. As the singular image selected to represent the Pisces Collection, it demands some exploration of wordplay. Pisces is, after all, the zoological term for fish and also the name of a zodiac sign--the astrological sign, as it happens, of the collection's anonymous owner. Dev ..."

"A multi-generational selection of 31 artists was invited to contribute work for this 50th anniversary issue of "Jahresring," the Cologne journal of art criticism. After 49 issues dealing in various aspects of art criticism, the editors decided it was time to let art itself take the limelight. Artists such as Fischli and Weiss, Rosemarie Trockel, Richard Artschwager, Diana Thater, On Kawara, Ellen Gallagher, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Gerhar ..."
"The inspiration for this book can be found in the question posed in its subtitle. Aiming to define a new way of grasping the concept of reality, EXTRA plays with the idea that it is never really grasped. In a new realm of gliding over, through and between the surfaces of reality, art takes on diverse forms to reveal the extreme elasticity of the real. Twentyeight artists have come together to graft their layers onto reality pending its ..."
"Since 1979, Peter Fischli and David Weiss have been cheerfully celebrating the banality of everyday existence and, in the process, rising to the forefront of the contemporary international art world. Their work deliberately ignores the traditional distinction between high and low art, and employs a wide variety of media, including photography, film, video, artists’ books, installation, and sculpture. Featuring over 200 color illustratio ..."
"Fischli Weiss • Fragen & Blumen Eine Retrospektive
Herausgegeben von Bice Curiger, Peter Fischli und David Weiss
Seit 1979 arbeiten Peter Fischli und David Weiss gemeinsam an einem Werk, welches sein Augenmerk humorvoll auf das Alltägliche, das unscheinbar Banale richtet. Es ist ein verschmitzter Forschergeist, der sie antreibt. Der Hang zu Universalität, zum Enzyklopädischen und zu verquerer Methodik zeichnet ihre Arbeitsserien aus: Si ..."
"This book documents installations of Haus―a 1:15 scale representation of a modern commercial building―by celebrated Swiss duo Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946–2012). These include the 2016 recreation of the 1987 Skulptur Projekte Münster for the Guggenheim Museum and its permanent installation at Offenen Rennbahn in Zürich."
"Swiss duo Fischli & Weiss have been collaborating since 1979 on clever, charming works that turn everyday detritus--from stuffed animals and beer bottles to sausages and magazine advertisements--into witty scenarios of balance, collapse and blissful silliness. Their best-known work remains their film "The Way Things Go," in which such items are arranged in a domino sequence to fall, catch fire and roll along, with dizzying hilarity. All ..."
"Plötzlich diese Übersicht gathers the popular series of more than 350 hand-sculpted, unfired clay figures begun in 1981 by the Swiss artists Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012)--a masterpiece executed in an entirely unspectacular material. Fischli and Weiss' little figures are arranged in sculptural tableaus to delineate scenes from history, culture, entertainment, sports and everyday life. The titles of each tableau, ..."
