Peter Fischli: “We were interested in the element of chance”. David Weiss: “When the photographs come off, it’s like receiving a gift.”
and “In fact, they tread quite a thin line: we want to seduce viewers with floral opulence. But you can’t exactly view them ingenuously, either.”
This ‘book’ is one of the most outstanding visuals issued in the nineties as an industrially made artist’s book. The loose pages folded together as a book make each photographic double exposure on each spread an evocative experience for the eye. Soon one year later in 2000 a second edition was published due to its success.

pizza box with label

edition 106, i.e. unique series of which this one was folded due to its over-size

In 1992 John M Armleder exhibited in Museum Utrecht in The Netherlands. The exhibition was named “Pour Paintings 1989-1992” and a museum catalogue with all his Pour Paintings was published. On site and on behalf of his show he produced three large paintings that caused a lot of drippings on the floor. Armleder proposed to intercept these paint drippings on a large cotton cloth that would be cut into smaller pieces of cloth kept in a cardboard pizza box. In this way 105 pieces were cut with one exceptionally large left-over that was folded in the last pizza box.

MARK WALLINGER, “Study for self reflection”, 2018
26 x 20 cm
invitation card, silver foil cardboard
published by Hauser & Wirth, New York, USA

Usually the invitation cards of Hauser & Wirth depict reproductions of art works or reproduced photos of the artists involved in a coming exhibition. Here the printed matter is a piece of silver foil cardboard, apparently to use as a mirroring surface. Therefore first of all this card may be considered as a multiple.
