Untitled. (5 Bilder). (Five images of boxers)

Feldmann, Hans-Peter

(N.p.). c.2000
A typical example of an assemblage of found images by Hans-Peter Feldmann.

Five different images of boxers are reproduced recto only on thin glossy cream paper. Issued loose, the images were distributed as sets for a Feldmann travelling exhibition. Although the details of the series are given in the catalogue 'Hans-Peter Feldmann: 272 Pages', the specific travelling exhibition and the date of issue remain unidentified.

'Pictures given [sic] during an exhibition that toured different museums. The print run was 250,000.' (272 Pages).

'But I’m also making a book with pictures of bloody boxing scenes, although I hate boxing. I find it therapeutic, it seems to help me.' ( H.-P. F. in conversation with Kaspar Konig, 2011, as cited on Frieze.com).

[see 'Hans-Peter Feldmann: 272 Pages', Helen Tatay (Ed.), 2002, pg. 229].
(Various sizes). Five monochrome reproductions of images of boxers or boxing. Loose as issued.
