Peter Fischli & David Weiss: Snowman (2016)
Though a snowman is, as the artists observe, a "sculpture that almost anyone can make" simply by rolling three spheres of snow and setting them atop one another, Fischli and Weiss's Snowman is dependent on a technically complex apparatus for its year-round subsistence. Over the course of three decades of collaboration, Fischli and Weiss explored and exploited contradictions such as this one and investigated the extraordinary potential of the most ordinary objects and situations.
