Hans Peter Feldmann
(German, 1941–2023)
Biography
Hans Peter Feldmann is a German Conceptual artist best known for his use of artist books, found objects, and appropriated images to reevaluate and recontextualize subject matter. Feldmann often adopts ubiquitous or banal subjects as a starting point—including, for example, shoes or photographs taken from hotel windows—and elevates them through photo essays into profound or thought-provoking experiences. “Art needs to be sensuous for the eyes to touch,” he once remarked. “You simply have to look at it, to hear the music.” Born on January 17, 1941 in Düsseldorf, Germany, he went on to study painting at the University of Arts and Industrial Design Linz in Austria. By the late 1960s, he began producing artist books he titled Bilde (Picture), which come to feature in his practice for years to come. In 2010, Feldmann was the recipient of the Hugo Boss Prize, which included a subsequent exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2011. His works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, among others. Feldmann lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany.
