Iwan Wirth and I have known each other for a long time. Iwan was my first encounter with Hauser and Wirth and shortly after that I met Manuela. We got along very well right from the start, Ivan knew my work. I met Ursula Hauser a little later in Los Angeles, I remember her expressive youthful eyes, I don't know her age, but I could certainly have been Ursula Hauser's son. Working with the gallery is one of the most rewarding experiences an artist can have. I am preparing a book. The book is about the people who deal in art and my way of working. It's not a biographical book, I tell about people I had dealings with and my personal experiences, the conditions under which my art is created. HM
This is an extremely simple story and the story sounds like a metaphor, but it's not a metaphor, it's real. Depending on the region in which you live, it may happen that there are large old trees. And it happens that you climb a tree as high as possible and then get stuck. Fear and despair kick in because you understand that you cannot go back down. This is the time when the whole situation and other people become an integral part of how that situation is unfolding for you. You need others to get you off that tree and take you where it's no longer dangerous for you. We depend on people who understand such situations. When you trust a world of people who tell themselves the easiest thing is to do nothing for you. Then you will not come down from this tree. If you depend on people who convince themselves that only their own benefit counts, then you die on this tree.
