Hans-Peter Feldmann

born 1941 in Düsseldorf (DE), lives and works in Düsseldorf (DE)

About

  • Hans-Peter Feldmann wouldn’t describe himself as an artist. He turned his back on painting in 1968 and became a compulsive collector and appropriator of found images and everyday ephemera.
  • He intentionally bypasses conventions of high culture, making unsigned, untitled works of limitless editions.
  • Never sorting his collections according to any strict typology, he channels his vast inventory of the world and constructs constellations and arrangements.
  • Assembling overlooked things with a gesture of “Sachlichkeit”, Feldmann often takes the position of the voyeur and gently exposes poetry and humor in the mundane.
