Plötzlich diese Übersicht

This profoundly great exhibition catalog from Plötzlich diese Übersicht  (Suddenly This Overview) (1981) represents the first major collaboration between artists Fischli & Weiss. It's a spectacular book, satisfying in the way many of the works are, and, we suspect, the way the exhibition was. Plates of their miniature, unfired clay sculptures, that have insanely straightforward captions like "Marco Polo shows the Italians spaghetti, brought back from China, for the first time" and "Lois Lane drinks coffee with Clark Kent and doesn't sense that he's Superman" and "Travelling Hedgehog." Fourth edition of 2000.
