Read Peter Fischli David Weiss: How to Work Better by Nancy Spector, Nat Trotman Online

"The book is an apt primer to the artists' 30-plus year partnership. It is spot on in its generic feelwith only a laconic, ten-step instructional missive titled "How to Work Better" (cribbed from a Thai ceramics factory) on its dull white cover. The text is a fitting pastiche of visuals and words from scholars, critics, friends, gallerists, and the artists themselves." CHOICE

This retrospective volume features an in-depth, illustrated survey of the artists’ long history of collaboration, from the early Sausage Series (1979)staged vignettes created in miniature using deli meats and various household itemsto their last work, the large-scale public installation Rock on Top of Another Rock (2009–present), augmented by documentary images, notes on process, and interview excerpts culled from the artists’ Zurich-based archives. Paying tribute to an artistic partnership of more than 30 years, this richly illustrated book explores Peter Fischli and David Weiss’s acclaimed and influential body of work, known for its sly humor and profound meditations on the everyday. A series of probing essays on their practice and thematic concerns rounds out this definitive account of Fischli and Weiss’s vital contribution to contemporary art.. With its deliberately mundane subject matt
