Ursus Wehrli

THE ART OF TIDYING UP – LIVE is the name of the stage-performance version of the eponymously titled bestseller by Ursus Wehrli, who not only neatly organizes works of art, but also auctions them off live.

Ursus Wehrli provides insight into his work and ultimately comes clean: whether Klee, Miró, Mondrian, Picasso, Van Gogh or Breugel – Mr. Wehrli demonstrates how great works of art can be efficiently organized, neatly arranged and sparingly presented. He opens up a new door to the perspective of art, illuminating his point of view regarding order and chaos and explaining why this method works and, if not, why it is nevertheless amusing. The way he accomplishes this feat is astonishing – and what emerges as a result is fascinating. THE ART OF TIDYING UP is an unforgettable and entertaining lecture for all who love or hate art as well as the only genuine therapy for frustrated art critics. Most of all, however, it constitutes a playfully absurd solution toward at least providing some clarity where it makes the least sense!
