Zimmermann, Peter: Dictionary from Z to A to be released in November

Offering the most comprehensive overview of the long-lasting and multi-faceted artistic career of Peter Zimmermann, the monograph Zimmermann, Peter: Dictionary from Z to A will be released in November 2024 as a joint publication of Wienand Verlag and Dirimart. Structured in a dictionary format that progresses from Z to A and designed by Felix Rabe, the book delves into the focal points of Zimmermann’s artistic practice over the years through 42 unique concepts, like ‘Abstraction’, ‘Pixel’, ‘Layer’, and ‘Epoxy’, written by different authors, such as Philipp Anton, Hubertus Butin, Johannes Hock, Stefan Germer, and Hans Ulrich Reck. The book offers a polyphonic window into the world of this extraordinary artist, who deconstructs and transforms the images we are constantly exposed to in the age of visual communication and reinterprets the traditional art of painting, questioning the concept of representation.
