' ... a key influence on generations of younger artists, Feldmann's work exhibits a vitality and keen originality that places it among the most compelling work being produced today' - Extract from the jury's statement on announcing Hans-Peter Feldmann as winner of the Hugo Boss Prize 2010
Hans-Peter Feldmann (born 1941, Düsseldorf) has earned critical acclaim for his photographic series, collections, installations and books. Presented in a variety of forms, these works are indicative of Feldmann's life-long fascination with visual culture and ongoing engagement with the pleasure of looking.
On the occasion of his exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, Feldmann has presented an edition of hand-coloured banknotes. Feldmann has painted a red nose on each dollar bill, exemplifying the subversive humour that is evident in so much of his work.
Feldmann's work has been exhibited widely, including recent solo exhibitions at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York (2011), Museo Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid (2010), Arnolfini, Bristol (2007) and Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (1992). His work has been shown in numerous group exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale in 2009 and 2003 and Take Me (I'm Yours) at the Serpentine Gallery in 1995.
