Peter Fischli and David Weiss are a Swiss artistic duo who first began
working together in the late 1970s. Their internationally renowned
sculpture, video and photographic works look at everyday life and its
conceptions of beauty and pleasure, forming an innocent, unpredictable
world utterly unique in contemporary art
Peter Fischli and David Weiss' work has been seen at such key
international exhibitions as documenta 8 (1987) and X (1997), the
Biennales of Sydney (1990, 1998) and Sao Paulo (1989) and the Carnegie
International, Pittsburgh (1988), among many others. This is the first
true monograph on this extraordinary pair, who will have a major
retrospective of their work at the Tate Modern, London (2005-6)
