Study Art - Peter Müller (Germany) [Verlach Friedichrodaer Hefte]

From my favourite book artist in Bremen:
Study Art

Unnumbered book of loosely bound copies of paintings which appear to have watercolor beginnings and digital endings.  Included in this sending were three other books and three prints from a “set of single cards”, a series of 39, numbered 1, 10 and 11.

“for breeding or bounty

for fun or fame

for prestige or spite

for style or glory

for pride or power

for profit or hobby”

This book is based on the words/work of John Waters from an exhibition in Baltimore:

 "This is a weirdly Baltimore-based work," Waters said.

"Many years ago, there was a real sign for a real art school in Baltimore on St. Paul Street below 25th Street. It said, 'Study Art for profit or hobby,' which is about the most politically incorrect thing you can say if you're an artist. I loved the sign and was astounded by it. It was completely unironic, and I decided to parody it."

And Peter decided to interpret it.
