Painter to give lecture, lead workshops, April 4-6
Posted March 30, 2006; 10:27 p.m.
Conceptual realist painter Peter Dreher will give an illustrated
talk on his work at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 4, in Room 219 of 185
Nassau St. He also will conduct workshops from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday
and Thursday, April 5-6, in Room 220.
Dreher, who has been professor of painting at Freiburg University in
Germany since 1968, is known worldwide for his series, "Day by Day Is a
Good Day" ("The Glass"). He began the conceptual experiment in paint in
the early '70s and continues it to this day: the same glass in the same
environment in the same position -- only the painter's subjectivity is
variable. He has some 4,000 pictures of the glass to his credit.
The events are sponsored by the Program in Visual Arts. The workshops are open only to the University community; to sign up, call (609) 258-8560 or e-mail lawson@princeton.edu.
