Wilhelm Moser (1947), is a multidisciplinary artist living and working in Düsseldorf, Germany, and Passavant, France. Moser’s practice bridges sculpture, painting, photography, film-making, and conceptual installations. Rooted in craftsmanship, his artistic journey began with an apprenticeship in joinery and carpentry under his father, Alois Moser, before studying at the Folkwang Schule in Essen and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
Moser had a pivotal encounter with Andy Warhol in 1984 that led him to New York. Encouraged by Warhol, and introduced to the Charles Cowles Gallery, Moser became part of the dynamic art scene of the era. In 1985, he co-founded The Manipulator Magazine with David Colby, an influential platform dedicated to spotlighting both celebrated and overlooked artists, living or otherwise.
Moser has exhibited extensively in Europe and the United States, including solo and group shows at the Charles Cowles Gallery (New York), Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), Creatis Gallery (Paris), Galerie Niepel (Düsseldorf), Galerie Gmyrek (Düsseldorf), South Art Gallery (Miami), Galerie Schreier & von Metternich (Düsseldorf), and Galerie The Box (Düsseldorf), among others.
TIMEMUSEUM is an ongoing project exploring memory, decay, and permanence, and is Moser’s first UK solo exhibition.
