Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012) collaborate to transform the stuff of ordinary life into a series of quizzical, whimsical, even disquieting encounters. Fascinated with unconventional subject matter and material, Fischli and Weiss toy with the idea of "high art," questioning popular narratives and movements in art and cultural history. Peter Fischli David Weiss presents an in-depth survey of the artists' work from 1979 through 2012, drawn exclusively from Glenstone's collection. The volume includes rubber and clay sculptures, photographic series including Equilibres (A Quiet Afternoon) and Sausage Series, digital slides such as Airports and Flowers and Mushrooms, stills from their acclaimed video The Way Things Go and the most recent iteration of their alter egos, Rat and Bear. Also reproduced is the artists' most ambitious polyurethane installation, The Objects for Glenstone, and Questions, a slide installation of over 400 handwritten existential queries such as "Is the Devil a cheerful person?" and "Will happiness find me?" which won the Golden Lion Prize at the 2003 Venice Biennale.

Textes de Catherine Grenier, Jean de Loisy, Jean-Pierre Bordaz, Christophe Domino... Peter Fischli et David Weiss élaborent une oeuvre commune depuis 1979. Ils portent un regard extérieur, voire excentrique sur notre société : l'esthétique populaire, les merveilles de l'univers, le jeu, les objets de supermarché, l'architecture, la morale sont les matériaux divers de leur création. Cet ouvrage, le plus complet publié en français sur cette oeuvre, est le premier de la collection Contemporains/Album des Galeries contemporaines.

hardcover. Etat : fine. Etat de la jaquette : fine. Illustrated with color photographs of the works of the artists. 256 pages. 4to, white cloth, dust wrapper. Potomac: Glenstone, (2013). A fine copy in a fine dust wrapper. From 1979 to 2012, Swiss artists Peter Fischli (b. 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012) collaborated on a body of work that offers a deceptively casual meditation on how we perceive everyday life. Through a witty misuse of cultural genres from low-budget Hollywood movies and picture-postcard views to the art historical notion of the readymade they transformed the ordinary into something decisively not.
