Hans-Peter Feldmann

Hans-Peter Feldmann is a passionate collector of images and stories, an original thinker and a conceptual artist. Born in 1941 in Germany, he lives and works in Düsseldorf. Since the sixties, he has been collecting, producing, and exhibiting photographs. His relationship to the art world has been eccentric. In 1980, he destroyed most of his work and went into early retirement, only to pick up, a decade later, more or less exactly where he left off. Feldmann’s career, whose unique style recontextualizes everyday objects, cataloguing the commonplace and giving it new meanings, has had a major influence on two generations of artists.
