Description: Best Kunst' combines personal memories, ideas on art and artists as well as politico-cultural attitudes in the protagonist Kasper König. Featuring: Gerhard Richter, New York for Beginners, Failing in Jerusalem, Andy Warhol, Sculptures, Beginnings in Basements, Cologne networks and many more. 'Best Kunst ? The Life of Kasper König in 15 Exhibitions' is the result of a long interview with the international renowned exhibition-maker, as he calls himself, and depicts a fascinating cultural history observing art and society with a sharp-witted mind. Personal interests and objective achievements show a life, which didn?t always follow a straight line, but still accomplished numerous wishes and goals. 'Best Kunst' is like a large postcard about art, the contemporary and dreams to all the readers ? written by maybe the most famous postcard-writer in art history. König?s postcards ? still his favourite means of communication ? are being collected by friends and colleagues like precious artworks. This is why every 10th copy comes with a special edition of a unique, hand-collaged postcard by Kasper König.
