Wilhelm Moser

To make things simple, time has been referred to as the fourth dimension since Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. But this is a misinterpretation. Time is like rubber: stretched, twisted, inflated, expanded and exploded. It has never existed. They are moments - exemplary, fleeting and yet, as it were, timeless, frozen by a photograph, a painting, a sculpture, a film.

After his apprenticeship as a carpenter and joiner under the guidance of his father Alois Moser, Wilhelm Moser studied at the Folkwang School in Essen and at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.

Wilhelm Moser commuted between Düsseldorf and Paris until Andy Warhol encouraged him to go to New York in 1984 and recommended him to the Charles Cowles Gallery there. In 1985, together with David Colby, he founded The Manipulator magazine with the mission of presenting the work of known, unknown, lost, forgotten, living and dead artists.

Today he divides his time between America, Germany and travelling to places that are difficult to access.

Wilhelm Moser has exhibited nationally and internationally and is represented in many public (e.g. Braun-van Wickern Collection, Düsseldorf, Goldman Sachs, New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Miami Art Museum, Miami - Charles Cowles Photographic Collection, Nord Rhein Westfalia Museum of Film, Düsseldorf, Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf) and private (e.g. Charles Cowles, Richard Meier, Oribé, Rupert Everett, Barbara Becker, Robert & Diane Moser, Robert & Diane Moser) collections. (e.g. Charles Cowles, Richard Meier, Oribé, Rupert Everett, Barbara Becker, Robert & Diane Moss, Ron Arad, Yabu Pushelberg, Montoya, Bob Risse, Bruce Weber).
