Published in conjunction with the Salzburger Museum für Moderne Kunst und Graphische Sammlung, the book traces Zeppel-Sperl's development across three decades of artistic production - marked by exuberant color, fantastical detail, and a distinctive blend of visual wit and compositional density. Whether depicting crowded scenes, grotesque hybrids, or surreal domestic encounters, his paintings remain visually playful while often laced with satire, eroticism, and a quiet unease. In German.
