# Peter Fischli David Weiss - Hardcover

by **Peter Fischli** (Artist), **David Weiss** (Artist), **Emily Wei Rales** (Editor)

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.
