Art – especially 20th century painting – has accompanied me since my childhood. The Nationalgalerie Berlin, with its various houses and its broad spectrum, has often introduced me to positions in art that I might otherwise have missed.

The friends are unique in what they do and how they do it, perhaps worldwide, but certainly unique in Germany. They enable projects/exhibitions/purchases that probably could not have taken place without the commitment and creativity of the team and members. I'm happy to be there.
