Abstract

"An Anecdoted Topography of Chance is now acknowledged as the most important, and most entertaining "Artists' Book" of the post-war period, and this edition is the definitive appearance of a unique collaborative work by four artists associated with various avant-garde art movements, including Fluxus and Nouveau Réalisme. What is the Topography? Hard to explain an idea so simple yet so brilliantly executed. Following a rambling conversation with his dear friend Robert Filliou, Daniel Spoerri one day mapped the objects lying at random on a table in his room, adding a rigorously scientific description of each. These objects subsequently evoked associations, memories, anecdotes, not only from the original author, but from his friends as well: a beguiling creation was born, and each time a new edition of the book appeared it grew larger and more elaborate. Many of the principal participants in Fluxus make an appearance, and texts by Higgins, Jouffroy, Kaprow, Restany and Tinguely are included, among others. It is a novel of digressions in the manner of Tristram Shandy, an archaeological game, a poem to the arbitrary, an encyclopaedia, a cabinet of wonders, but above all else, it is a celebration of friendship and creativity. The Topography both personifies and pre-dates the spirit of the Fluxus movement, and constitutes one of the strangest and most compelling insights into the artist's life. From out of the banal detritus of the everyday a virtual autobiography emerges: of four perceptive, eloquent and engaging members of the human species." -- Publisher's description

Abstract

The catalogue allows a comprehensive insight into Daniel Spoerri's over 60 years spanning artistic practice, boasting numerous, partly first time reproductions of works and archival material. With his since the 1960s continuously developed snare pictures (Tableaux pièges) Spoerri inscribed himself into art history. Moreover, the book illustrates that the universal artist and ardent collector is versed in virtually all artistic media. This bilingual publication showcases Daniel Spoerri's work which is defined by refined humour, multilingualism, and inventiveness through texts and images. Das mit zahlreichen, teils erstmalig publizierten Werk- und Archivaufnahmen bebilderte Buch, das im Frühjahr 2021 anlässlich der Ausstellung 'Daniel Spoerri' im Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien erscheint, gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in die über 60 Jahre umfassende künstlerische Praxis Daniel Spoerris. Mit seinen seit 1960 stets weiterentwickelten Fallenbildern (Tableaux pièges) schrieb er sich dauerhaft in die Kunstgeschichte ein. Darüber hinaus zeigt das Buch auf, dass der Universalkünstler und begeisterte Sammler in nahezu allen künstlerischen Medien versiert ist. In Text und Bild wird das von feinsinnigem Humor, Vielsprachigkeit und Erfindungsreichtum geprägte Werk Daniel Spoerris in dieser zweisprachigen Publikation präsentiert. Texte von: Ingried Brugger, Hans Peter Hahn, Barbara Räderscheidt, Veronika Rudorfer, Daniel Spoerri, Katerina Vatsella. Exhibition: Bank Austria Kunstforum Wien, Austria (24.03. - 27.06.2021).
