Peter Dressler. Wiener Gold / Vienna Gold

von , , ,

Austrian artist Peter Dressler has been
instrumental in shaping Austrian photography
since the 1970s as a photographer,
Academy lecturer, collector, and critical
participant in the art scene. This book
was compiled as part of Dressler’s major
retrospective at the Kunsthaus Wien from
November 2016 to March 2017. The book
encompasses his photographic oeuvre,
from lesser known photographs of Vienna
in the 1970s to his later existential and
often also wonderfully witty performative
series featuring the artist himself as actor
and director.

Peter Dressler, *1942 in Brasov, Romania. † 2013 in Prague, Czech Republic.
