Abstract

In 1991 the Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss produced a collaborative artwork, a text-based wall painting in situ onto the external wall of an office building in Zurich-Oerlikon. Employing simple turquoise blue capital letters, it was entitled: How To Work Better. The building is visible from the train that travels to and from the airport to central Zurich carrying travellers and business people.
