Peter Fischli & David Weiss Honored with Wolfgang Hahn Prize Amid Global Retrospectives

Peter Fischli and David Weiss received the Wolfgang Hahn Prize at the Museum Ludwig this year, with the jury praising them as among Switzerland's most influential and ingenious artists, a status arguably extending worldwide. Their three-decade exploration of reality interpretation has inspired numerous imitations globally, yet few achieve their unique blend of humor and seriousness. Concurrently, the duo has overlapping retrospectives in Munich and Kanazawa, underscoring their international institutional appeal. For the Ludwig, they created a new work featuring edited live radio excerpts into a single faux-broadcast that perplexes listeners, demonstrating their ongoing mastery of absurdist hermeneutics.
