Peter Weber

Peter Weber was born in 1944 in Kollmar/Elbe, Germany; he lives and works near Munich and Vignale, Monferrato, Italy. Using the most varied techniques and materials, Peter Weber has developed a system for folding the entire surface of a single piece of material without cutting it. His folded works of undyed or dyed felt, which has been Weber’s dominant material since 2001, exhibit a strong materiality. The pieces in this show called “Vernetzung” show clearly how complex a pure folding is. In addition to felt and paper, Weber also uses materials such as handmade paper, canvas, cotton, high-dense polyethylene and even steel. In late 2017, he created his first folded steel reliefs.
