Frauen by Hans-Peter Feldmann. Published by Mörel Books.
I like a good Scrapbook and I also like Peter Feldmann. This is Peter’s collection of images of women gathered over the years.
The “repetitive function of collecting is therapeutic” or so he claims, and “Art is an ordinary part of life like sports, food and sleep”.
I like the ordinariness of this though I noticed that the publishers described the book as a Facsimile of an Artist book — surely not?
