Herbert Döring-Spengler
"No matter how you see it, I see it differently".
Herbert Döring-Spengler, born in Cologne in 1944, is one of the most distinguished Polaroid artists of the present day. Herbert Döring-Spengler is not concerned with capturing reality, with surface, but with fundamental issues. By intervening massively in the process of development, the artist alienates and reveals at the same time. Nude and portrait are merely vague labels to describe his mostly serially conceived works, which above all touch on central questions of our existence. Hardly any other postmodern artist has made such radical use of the Polaroid as a pictorial medium against the background of his own painful experiences. The publication, which covers all the main groups of works, is published on the occasion of Herbert Döring-Spengler receiving the Rhenish Art Award 2020.
