What does the ideal studio look like? How much time does an artist spend in his studio? Is it a sacred place?

Not so long ago, collecting art was the privilege of those with a large fortune at their disposal. But that is long gone, because now the numerous galleries, museums and art fairs offer a huge selection of exciting art for every budget. In an interview, Walter Storms talks about collecting art and shares his many years of know-how as a gallery owner and art historian.
Steven Aalders has a solo exibition, entitled Seasons, at the Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo (NL) from November 13, 2021 to June 5, 2022.

Inspired by the STOA169 in Polling, Upper Bavaria, the Munich artist Roland Fischer has realised the installation "Column for the 21st Century" in the office building [working.living HOUSE] of the Gilching South Industrial Park. STOA169 is an artists' column hall initiated by the artist Bernd Zimmer. It brings together international artists in one place: more than 100 artists (including Roland Fischer), who were selected by a jury of experts, each designed a column, which together support a common roof. Roland Fischer's six-metre-high "Column for the 21st Century" was based on the "Azrieli Center" in Tel Aviv, whose façade structure is reflected with its geometric shapes in the office building in Gilching. The motif was selected via the Walter Storms Gallery. Roland Fischer has already been inspired in the past by extraordinary buildings from all over the world for his series "Façades" (since 1997), to which this project also belongs. The "Kunst am Bau" object is open to the public during the building's opening hours and can also be viewed at any time by anyone interested through the glass façade. A video was produced on the creation of the artwork, documenting the dimensions, background and technical realisation.

A must-see is the large solo exhibition in the Walter Storms Galerie with impressive, large-format photographs by Klaus Kinold, one of the most important architectural photographers of our time. Whether it's buildings by Walter Gropius, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Frank O. Gehry, Richard Meier or Carlo Scarpa, Klaus Kinold has documented them almost all. For this exhibition, he portrayed the German Pavilion, built in 1929 on the occasion of the World's Fair in Barcelona, and the Tugendhat House in Brno, completed one year later. Both buildings are among Mies van der Rohe's most important structures in Europe and are milestones of 20th century modern architecture.
His life belonged to architecture and photography. Klaus Kinold, probably the most important German architectural photographer has died. The author Hans-Michael Koetzle tells in the May-June 2021 issue of the magazine „Photo International“ why Klaus Kinold, the architect who takes photographs or the photographer who sees with the eyes of an architect was and still is a stroke of luck for his profession - and for photography in Germany in general.
