The 387 Houses of Peter Fritz

In 1993, while browsing in a junk shop, artist Oliver Croy discovered 387 model buildings, each neatly wrapped in its own garbage bag--the architectural creations of Austrian insurance clerk Peter Fritz.


What a wonderful find! The tiny buildings are made from cardboard, bits of foil, matchboxes and other materials one might have lying around the house. The collection contains a wide range of buildings and architectural styles. Croy and architecture critic Oliver Elser are presenting the collection as a curated installation entitled 'The 387 houses of Peter Fritz' at the 2013 venice art biennale.
