Ausstellung I / Roehr, Peter ; Martin Engler, curator., 2009 - 2009

 Item
Identifier: CC-59646-10002721
Scope and Contents

Publisher: When Frankfurt artist Peter Roehr died in 1968 at the young age of 23, he left behind several hundred works which exclusively pursued serial repetition. From found materials he created montages of photographs, text, typography, objects, sound, and film probing the concept of redundancy. Now that four decades have lapsed since his death, the nature of Roehr's works rises to the fore. They become amazingly enhanced and turn into narrative formulations oscillating between ready-made and seriality, pop and minimal art, everyday life and abstraction. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
