Hans-Peter Feldmann

11 April — 3 June 2012

Hans-Peter Feldmann (born 1941, Dusseldorf) rose to prominence in the early 1970s, earning worldwide acclaim for his expansive and encyclopaedic photographic series. Often presented in the form of books, posters, postcards and gallery installations, these collections link Feldmann's life-long fascination with collecting to his practice as an archivist of visual culture.

His exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery will be his first solo presentation in a UK public gallery since winning the 2010 Hugo Boss Prize.

Admission

Free.
