Wade Guyton, Peter Fischli, David Weiss

Documenting Fischli and Guyton’s exhibition-dialogue intertwining sculptures by Fischli & Weiss with Wade Guyton works

This publication accompanies a 2017 collaboration at the Aspen Art Museum between Swiss artists Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012), known during their 33-year collaboration as Fischli and Weiss, and American artist Wade Guyton (born 1972). In this unprecedented exhibition, Fischli and Guyton worked with Heidi Zuckerman, the AAM’s Nancy and Bob Magoon CEO and Director, to curate a show that intertwines older works of Guyton and Fischli and Weiss as well as incorporates new pieces. Most prominent are Fischli and Guyton’s wall sculptures–placed in various spaces around the museum, outside and within the galleries–and interspersed among and placed in relation to these collaborative sculptures are significant pieces, from Guyton’s as well as Fischli and his late collaborator David Weiss’ respective practices.
