Peter Fischli David Weiss by Peter Fischli (Artist); David Weiss (Artist); Emily Wei Rales (Editor); Ali Nemerov (Editor); Boris Groys (Text by) 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.
