专家说明

German photographer Lothar Wolleh (1930-1979) and Jan Schoonhoven maintained a close friendship since the mid 1960s. As a portraitist of the international ZERO avant-garde and editor-publisher of editions and artists’ books, Lothar Wolleh was in close contact with Lucio Fontana, Günther Uecker, Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and the Dutch Nul artists, among others. Wolleh's special relationship with Jan Schoonhoven was reflected in extensive photographic sequences and in elaborate plans for a publication on Jan Schoonhoven, to be accompanied by an embossed print (1969-1972). Lothar Wolleh was regarded 'an artist among artists, a truly free spirit', according to Jan Schoonhoven’s closest friend, Nul artist Jan Henderikse: 'Lothar had this special ability of capturing the spirit of artists ánd their art in a highly personal photographic style.'
