Biography
From 1958 to 1965 Petrick completed a course of studies in biology at the Freie Universität Berlin and in art at the Hochschule der Künste (HdK) as a master scholar with Werner Volkert. From 1975 to 2007 he was a professor at the HdK, and he has been a member of the Academy of Arts, Berlin in Berlin since 1993. He lives and works in Berlin and, since 1994, has also been working in New York.
Together with Karl Horst Hödicke, Markus Lüpertz, Peter Sorge and others, Petrick founded in 1965 in Berlin the exhibition association "Großgörschen 35", Germany's first self-help gallery (a producers' gallery in the present day sense). Years later as a "Kritischer Realist" he belonged to the group "Aspekt".
His initial creative work primarily concentrated on painting, drawing, sculpture, and graphic arts and prints. Since 2000 he has also worked in photography. He has been designing books since 2003 and has so far worked in collaboration with the authors Hans Christoph Buch (Morovia, Mon Amour) and Bora Ćosić (Alaska).
