100 Years

Hans-Peter Feldmann was a German artist known for his systematic collections and archival presentations of found photographs, postcards, and mass-produced images. Working primarily with appropriation and photobook formats, he assembled vast inventories of vernacular material, wedding photos, passport pictures, advertisements, organized by category or formal similarity rather than narrative or authorship. His practice interrogated the nature of documentation, seriality, and the aesthetic potential of the mundane within postwar conceptualism. Feldmann's work was exhibited internationally and remains foundational to understanding photography's role in contemporary art practice.
