In Book Cover Paintings, he transposes the covers of art books into his works, thereby demonstrating his own art-historical context, and presents this conceptual art, a kind of painting about painting, with seductive sensuality. In the flowing forms of his Blob Paintings, however, Zimmermann explores the expanding role of the media in painting. Using a computer, he distorts photographs into a digitalized abstraction, and then transfers them onto canvas.\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, Paris, 6 January–February 2007 · The Happy Lion Gallery, Los Angeles, March 2007\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e \n\u003cP\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans-Plain; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003e\u003cBR style=\"mso-special-character: line-break\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49755231387912,"sku":"9783775719599","price":29.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775719599_27b9597a-dc3c-47dc-968f-a7dc5d210e34.jpg?v=1744126128","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/15745-peter-zimmermann","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
