Blinky Palermo

Over the course of his 14-year artistic career, Peter Heisterkamp, aka Peter Schwarze, aka Blinky Palermo, tirelessly probed the limits of abstract painting. Having begun his brushwork on more traditional surfaces, he shifted his activity to less conventional supports, experimenting with diverse materials and forms, exploring the relationships that can exist between the wall and the space delimited by the painting. This monograph presents a selection of Palermo's paintings, drawings and engravings, and includes examples taken from the mural he created between 1963 and 1977, the year of his death, and from his installations, among them one he did for the 1976 Venice Biennale, soon to be reconstructed for the accompanying exhibition.
