»Ich bin zu alt – such dir junge Künstler!«* Claudia Michelsen, Fabian Hinrichs und Knut Elstermann präsentieren die schönsten Künstlerkorrespondenzen

*With these words, Sigmar Polke once canceled the famous Documenta. And Andy Warhol described his life shortly before his artistic breakthrough as follows: "I was born in Pittsburgh in 1928 (in a steel mill - like everyone else), now I'm in NY City, moving from one cockroach-infested apartment to another."Because: where there's wood, there are chips. Where art is created, such striking sentences are uttered.
Claudia Michelsen and Fabian Hinrichs read the most beautiful and bizarre excerpts from the correspondence and diaries of well-known artists. And Knut Elstermann provides answers to burning questions: What advice did Michelangelo give his nephew Leonardo in 1559 regarding the bride search? Was it really the correspondence between Gauguin and Van Gogh that caused the latter to lose his ear? Why does Marina Abramovic warn against falling in love with artists? And what is it about photography that annoys Kippenberger so much?
