Most artists show an image of reality, every artist on his own way. The great merit of former conserrvator of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Brussels, Phil Mertens, consists in having recognized this as a new current in contemporary fine arts and to have convinced people at the Ministry of Education and Culture to also reckognize it as such, which made it possible to have some official manifestations on all university campusses in Belgium, Holland and Paris. Equally
convinced of this new current was Wall Street lawyers office Gottlieb,
Steen & Hamilton (specialized in intellectual property and
international
law) and its director for Europe and the Middle East who frequented the
environment of David Rockefeller and the Museun of Modern Art of New
York
and who acquired one work for their collection. I have, during my fortuitous encounter with the artist, together with my wife Cristiane, and during the next encounters that I had with the artist in his studio, been able to gain his confidence as a person and a collector and it is a pleasure for me today to present here to other interested collectors for their consideration, various of his works, part of my collection, that, without any doubt, form the successfull top of contemporary art.* The
artist was invited by the Minister of Education and Culture of Andorra
to have an exhibition at the Ministry. |
