“In Belgium, I’m world-famous…”, König sums up his beginnings in the Belgian art scene in the 1960s. But not only in Belgium and Germany did Kasper König shape the history of Contemporary Art remarkably, he left traces of his work as an exhibition-maker all over the world.

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 renowed 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.
BEST KUNST is the start of the interview-series “The Life of…” featuring interesting personalities and their lives in conversations.
