Peter Roehr

Peter Roehr's work is presented through a thoughtful examination by Dr. Martin Engler and Dr. Andreas Bee, delving into the intricate layers of the artist's influence on contemporary art. Through a blend of analysis and interpretation, the authors explore the concept of authorship as it pertains to the black panels that define Roehr’s style. These panels not only represent a visual element but also provoke discussions surrounding the intentions and meanings that arise from Roehr’s pieces.

The book invites readers to consider the implications of Roehr’s art in the context of "the death of the author," a theory suggesting that the creator’s intent often fades into the background, allowing the viewer to engage with the work in a more personal manner. By weaving together visual analysis and theoretical discourse, the authors create an engaging narrative that resonates across boundaries, appealing to both German and English-speaking audiences.
