About the book
Kasper König, born in 1943, is the eighth and youngest art mediator to be focused on in the work biographies of the series 'Energien/Synergien' (Energies/Synergies). König spent the early years of his working life, between 1963 and 1978, in Great Britain, the USA and Canada. From abroad he found his way, time and again, back to projects on the European continent. In 1977, together with Klaus Bussmann, he curated the first sculpture exhibition in a public space in Münster. Further notable steps in his career were the legendary exhibitions 'Westkunst' in Cologne (1981) and 'Von hier aus' in Düsseldorf (1984). Subsequently Kasper König took over the job of Principal of the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main from 1988 to 2000, before running the Museum Ludwig in Cologne as its director from 2000 to 2012. Walter Grasskamp spoke with Kasper König about his Westphalian home, Warhol's Factory and the museum near Cologne cathedral.
