Peter Schinzler
Münchner Künstler
(“Munich Artists“)
May 26 – June 27, 1982
“Peter Schinzler, who presents his first major work with this documentation, has been very thoroughly occupied with the artist's portrait over a period of two years. He did not assume that he would be able to portray the whole essence of a person in a portrait. Rather, it was important to him to show in the portraits an essentially personal aspect of those artists who have determined the cultural life of Munich in our years. His selection, based on careful research, is representative with small gaps: Several people refused to be included, others, as especially women artists, evaded appointments several times or withdrew their consent to publication.”
