Art of Clean Up

This neat little book celebrates the beauty of compulsive tidying and has already been a bestseller in Germany and Switzerland with over 90,000 copies sold. Readers are bound to be inspired to sort their own lives out as they see Wehrli arrange a bowl of alphabet soup, a group of pool-goers, and a spruce branch - feats which will make our own cleaning and chores seem easy!

Ursus Wehrli is a left-handed, broad-thinking, professional typographer. His first book, Tidying Up Art, is a visionary manifesto that took well-known artworks and put them back together in his more rational, more organized, and cleaner form of modern art. In this book, The Art of Clean Up, Wehrli extended his discerning eye into the physical world to tidy up common daily situations. He is currently working on sorting things that are normally too big to organise.

"A surprise on every spread.... The book is a great example of how a compulsion for obsession can make for obsessively interesting art." - NYTimes.com
