> DESCRIPTION

Matthew Marks is pleased to announce a special exhibition of work by Peter Fischli and David Weiss at his three galleries. The exhibition includes the new monumental installation, Sun, Moon and Stars at 522 West 22nd Street. Clay and Rubber at 523 West 24th Street features their iconic sculptures from the past two decades in these materials, while their newest sculpture, Sleeping Puppets, will be installed at 526 West 22nd Street.

Clay and Rubber includes sculptures of everyday objects—a dog dish, a drawer, a hiking boot, an ottoman—cast in black rubber or modeled in clay. The rubber sculptures were made between 1986 and 2009. The clay sculptures, in which the hands of the artists are easily visible, are more recent and are oversized. The sensuality of unfired clay and jet-black rubber provoke the viewer to consider the aesthetic beauty in everyday objects.
