On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, the 2nd-year MFA cohort visited the Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf for a guided tour of the Hans-Peter Feldmann (1941-2023) exhibition. We were hosted by the museum’s curator, Felicity Korn, who took us through the exhibition and into the life of the artist. Hans-Peter was born and raised in Düsseldorf, and also operated an ordinary souvenir shop within the city. Hans-Peter Feldmann was known as a conceptual artist, working across multiple media, including photography, sculpture, painting, books, and light. The artist would often take mundane objects from everyday life and elevate them into works of art. By working across different media, Hans-Peter often defied art-world conventions, including making unsigned prints where there was no limit to the number of editions.
