| Personal Insights into the Artistic Cosmos of Michael Buthe—Collector and Friend Ingvild Goetz Reminisces

Michael Buthe (1944–1994) was already a legend in his lifetime. The Orient, its people and spirituality had a formative influence on Buthe’s work and life. Cologne and Marrakesh were the two poles between which the artist moved. Ingvild Goetz got to know Buthe in Cologne in the nineteen-seventies, became friends with him, and followed his work until his early death. After Minimalist-Conceptual beginnings in the late nineteen-sixties, he radically changed his way of working in the nineteen-seventies and created large-format works of intensive and entrancing colorfulness. Not only does this publication now trace the development of his work for the first time; numerous photographs from private albums, as well as vivid stories by his collector-friend Ingvild Goetz, and other companions, reveal hitherto unknown sides of this exceptional artist.Exhibition: Sammlung Goetz, Munich 9.7.2016–3.12.2016
