Scenes and Sequences

Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau

Peter Blum Edition, New York. A Selection from 1980 to 2006

Introduction to the exhibition by Beat Wismer

Scenes and Sequences – Peter Blum Edition Since 1980, Peter Blum has published a series of graphic art editions in collaboration with some 30 artists. These volumes occupy a unique position both in terms of the creative talent featured and the media explored. The artists with whom Blum chooses to work are not linked by any particular unifying style and employ a wide variety of pictorial techniques: from that most traditional of media, the woodcut, to appropriated and altered photography. Blum’s publishing programme is largely dictated by his own very personal approach and perspective. However, by selecting artists with such a wide range of creative styles, from the abstract to the conceptual to the figurative, his Editions also reflect the artistic pluralism of the last 25 years. Alongside the ambition to achieve new heights of aesthetic and technical quality, another feature that makes these staggeringly high quality editions so unique is the close collaboration between the publisher, printers and artists, some of whom were even persuaded by Blum to try their hand at printmaking for the very first time.

Artists:

John Baldessari, Barbara Bloom, Louise Bourgeois, Tacita Dean, Martin Disler, Helmut Federle, Eric Fischl, General Idea, Alfredo Jaar, Alex Katz, Kimsooja, Barbara Kruger, Sherrie Levine, Brice Marden, Josef Felix Müller, A.R. Penck, David Rabinowitch, Anselm Stalder, Rosemarie Trockel, ames Turrell, Luc Tuymans, Rolf Winnewisser, Terry Winters, Yukinori Yanagi, Robert Zandvliet.
