Created in one piece and without cutting the surface, Peter Weber’s works position the phenomenon of folding in the field of vision of their viewers. The entire bandwidth of his oeuvre, extending back over 50 years, is now being compiled and acknowledged in a two-volume catalogue raisonné. After his studies in the Department of Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Hamburg, Peter Weber (*1944) continued to focus his entire attention on the creation of concrete art. His early years as a painter were determined by Op-Art and the imaginary space, but he soon became fascinated by the mathematical diversity of the techniques of folding. In addition to felt and paper the artist also uses materials such as linen, cotton, plastic and steel – always uncut and as a whole. The catalogue raisonné assembles in Volume 1 the seven main work groups with explanatory essays. Volume 2 lists chronologically over 1,700 works from all creative periods.
The three-dimensional artworks of Peter Weber (b. 1944) reflect a stunning technique: each work is created from a single piece of material that is intricately foldedall without making a single cut to the materials surface. Now, after an astonishing fifty-year career, the artist is receiving fresh recognition for his brilliance in the form of the two-volume catalogue raisonné Peter Weber.
Webers artistic path reveals a strong affinity for abstraction and the principle of wholeness. After studying design at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Weber focused on concrete art. His early work as a painter was influenced by op art and imaginary space, but he soon became fascinated with the mathematical possibilities inherent in the technique of folding. In addition to felt and paper, Weber folds a variety of other materials, such as linen, cotton, plastic, and even steel.
The first volume of the catalogue raisonné, Structure and Folding, outlines seven major groupings within Webers body of work and contextualizes them with explanatory essays. The second volume, Catalogue Raisonné 19682018, lists Webers more than 1,700 works in chronological order. With over fifteen hundred color illustrations, these two volumes stand as the most authoritative source on Weber to date.
