The Art of Clean Up
The Art of Clean Up: Life Made Neat and Tidy | Ursus Wehrli
6 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
The modern world can get messy. Fortunately, Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli is a man of obsessive order, as he demonstrates with eye-catching surprise in The Art of Clean Up. Already a bestseller in Germany, this compulsive title has sold more than 100,000 copies in less than a year, and the fastidiously arranged images have garnered blog love from NPR, Brain Pickings, swissmiss, and more. Tapping into the desire for organization and the insanity of ber-order, Wehrli humorously categorizes everyday objects and situations by color, size, and shape. He arranges alphabet soup into alphabetical order, sorts the night sky by star size, and aligns sunbathers' accoutrementsall captured in bright photographs sure to astonish even the pickiest of neat freaks.

Swiss artist Ursus Wehrli delights and surprises all ages with his photographs of a world made tidy. A wordless #picturebook. See his TED talk for more:

julesG Oh, Mr Wehrli. My kids love him. He cleaned up famous art for a well known German children's TV programme. 5y
saresmoore It‘s like a balm for my weary soul. 5y

I walked away for less than a min to stir the stew in the crock pot.... and came back to this. Hahaha he loves looking at books but I think he enjoyed taking them out more than looking at them. Silly Roman!

#RightNow I'm trying to decide if I should put away my books, go take a shower, or put my freshly clean sheets on my bed. Meh. I'll probably just read instead. #AugustGrrrl

Cinfhen There's something really special about fresh clean sheets out of the dryer 😇😴😴 7y

I've decided I need to totally redo my Goodreads shelves. How do you have yours organized, I'm looking for tips!!

danimgill I have shelves for each of my reading challenges and then a shelf of books that I actually own copies of (so I know which TBRs to pick up immediately 😉). I've been meaning to do them by genre/category too like you have here! 7y
Marni @danimgill I like that! I actually just created an exclusive TBR Own shelf, so I can see what I really should read next hahaha. 7y
