Peter Wirth (1951–2018)
Peter Wirth studied graphic design at the Folkwangschule in Essen and graduated with distinction. He then painted, printed and photographed for forty years, numbering his work by hand into the thousands. Sixteen solo exhibitions between 1977 and 2019; in 1993 the Egyptian Museum in Berlin showed his Nefertiti cycle, with a catalogue text by the museum's director, Dietrich Wildung. His work hung in the Große Kunstausstellung NRW in Düsseldorf five years running. He photographed every painting himself, which is the reason this shop can exist at all.
Open edition. A limitation invented after an artist has died is not a decision he made, so we do not impose one. Every sheet carries a registration number recorded in the archive instead.
A certificate with every print
Every sheet ships with a certificate naming the work, the original behind it and your print, with a registration number recorded in our archive.
