JAKOB SCHWERDTFEGER – Leseshow zum Buch

In the organizer's words:

THE FIRST BOOK BY THE INVENTOR OF ART COMEDY LIVE AT THE KÜPPERSMÜHLE MUSEUM
THE READING SHOW: FUNNY, PASSIONATE, INSTRUCTIVE.

How can a black square be art? Why is artist's shit sold for gold? And the big question: Can I do the same?

Jakob Schwerdtfeger is an art historian and stand-up comedian. Full of passion, he wanders through the history of art, discusses the highlights and puts together his own favorite exhibition. He tells the most exciting stories behind the works, reports on incredible anecdotes from the museum and offers countless fun facts and party knowledge. Dalí took an anteater for a walk. Da Vinci's greatest work became a target for archers. And Frida Kahlo's art gets its own seat on an airplane.

Schwerdtfeger is an art junkie and spends every spare minute in museums. He tells of the most daring art thefts, the craziest forgeries and the most absurd record prices. In the end, there are more than ten reasons why art makes life better and why we should go to museums more often.

In addition to presenting his bestseller "ICH SEHE WAS, WAS DU NICHT SIEHST, UND DAS IST KUNST", Jakob Schwerdtfeger makes humorous and unexpected references to the Museum Küppersmühle and the current solo exhibition "Vida y Muerte" with works by the renowned Spanish artist Miquel Barceló during his show.
