Together with Gerhard Richter’s “Atlas”, Hans-Peter Feldmann’s “Bilder” represents one of the most remarkable collections of images organized through associative affinities since Aby Warburg’s seminal “Mnemosyne Atlas”. An original thinker and iconographer, Feldmann was one of the most influential German conceptual artists of his generation. He regarded both art photography and vernacular images as part of a shared, democratic visual culture.


 


Beginning in the late 1960s, Feldmann became an avid collector of images and stories, assembling them into a series of artist’s books titled “Bilder” (Pictures), which would become a central component of his practice. Today, these works are regarded as “one of the most important bodies of bookworks in the twentieth century” (Martin Parr and Gerry Badger).


 


Between 1968 and 1974, Feldmann organized this vast photographic corpus into small booklets, which were eventually gathered into archival folders. Published in 1975, this volume brought together, for the first time since the series’ inception, the 422 images that had originally appeared in booklets of various formats and sizes.
