Born into a family that has been collecting art for generations, my life has been filled with art since I was a child. Since then, art fairs, exhibitions and auctions in Cologne, Paris, London, Amsterdam and New York have fascinated me at least as much as nightclubs and soccer fields.

Growing up in the tranquil Münsterland, I am always drawn to my favorite city of Berlin, where I have been expanding the family collection of Old Masters since the turn of the millennium to include a collection of contemporary art with over 4000 works of art.

To date I have been able to acquire, broker and sell more than 10,000 works of art and antiques. I have moderated and curated over 200 art events and exhibitions worldwide. As editor, author and initiator, I am involved in over 100 publications on art and culture.
