Peter Fischli

In his wide-ranging oeuvre, Fischli carefully observes and draws from the everyday world to create sculpture, installation, video and works on paper that address similar concerns to those explored as part of his collaborative practice with David Weiss (1946–2012). His ongoing interest primarily focuses on the often overlooked, quotidian aspects of everyday life which he reworks in an experimental and humorous way. Often using simple or conventional materials, his works raise questions about the nature of art and our existence in the world by shifting the meaning and reading of things.

The exhibition at the London Gallery is the first solo presentation of works by Peter Fischli with Sprüth Magers, an exhibition that continues the gallery’s nearly forty-year collaboration with the Swiss artist. Occupying two floors, the show focuses on three bodies of work.
