Hans-Peter Feldmann 19814 — 11 Bilder von Feldmann

Hans-Peter Feldmann, 1969, 1e druk, Geniet, 12, Hans-Peter Feldmann’s booklets were self-published, starting in 1968, usually in editions of only 80 copies. They invariably consist of black-and-white reproductions of selected photographs, ranging in number from just one to fifteen. This copy contains reproductions of 11 square black-and-white photographs of women's legs, taken from an 'under-the-table' perspective. Considered one of his most important early artists' books – included in the portfolio issued by Galerie Paul Maenz, Cologne, 1971 – these small booklets constitute, according to Martin Parr 'one of the most important bodies of artist's bookworks in the twentieth century, along with those of Ruscha and Boltonski.'
