Treading the limits of originality. Peter Zimmermann (*1956 in Freiburg, lives and works in Cologne) is one of the most important conceptual media artists. With his work, he consistently experimented with visual reproduction techniques and gained international recognition in the late 1980s with his Book Cover Paintings: motifs from book covers such as that of the Diercke Weltatlas, which Zimmermann transfers to the canvas with oil and epoxy resins. The relationship between original and copy is the central theme of his work, with which he addresses the ambivalence of artistic and digital authorship. Under the title Peter Zimmermann: abstractness, this monograph brings together early works and a selection of current productions. Peter Zimmermann studied at the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design and was professor at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne from 2002 to 2007. His works can be found in the collections of, among others, the MMK Museum for Modern Art in Frankfurt am Main, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, the Centre George Pompidou in Paris, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
