At the annual auction of Swiss Art in Zurich on 1 December 2008, Christie’s will offer the most important work by Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss ever presented at auction; the installation Der Lauf der Dinge, 1987 (The way things go, 1987) and the 16mm reel of the iconic short film Der Lauf der Dinge, 1987 (The way things go, 1987), one of the most viewed art videos of all times which brought the artists instant international recognition when it first was presented at the Kassel documenta 8 in 1987.
The way things go, 1987 (estimate SFr. 900,000-1,500,000) will be offered by Swiss collector Alfred Richterich and will be sold to benefit the Alfred Richterich foundation which has supported cultural and charitable projects and initiatives in Switzerland for two decades.
René Lahn, Specialist for Post War and Contemporary Art Christie’s Zurich: “Christie’s is honoured to offer this iconic piece of Swiss Contemporary art from a Swiss collection to an international audience of private collectors and institutions at the annual auction of Swiss art in Zurich. We are proud to be able to exhibit this work to the public for almost a month before the sale.”
Alfred Richterich: “It’s the new generation of Swiss artists who should benefit from the sale of this exceptional piece of Swiss art. The focus of the Alfred Richterich foundation lies on contemporary art projects, which we support with more than half of our annual funds.”
The public viewing of the installation at Christie’s Zurich will be kicked off with a lecture by Patrick Frey, the Swiss publisher and director of the “The way things go - Making Of” video, which was screened for the first time alongside the film at the Fischli/Weiss retrospectives at the Kunsthaus Zurich and the Tate Modern in 2007.
