Lieber Kunstschaffender!
/1
Ernst Caramelle’s critical and reflexive approach here refers to the system of art itself, to the reception of art, to the institutions, to the market, to the gallery business, and to the relationship between the artist and the collector. The grammatical flaws in this letter serve to obfuscate the respective positions and interests, with the mutual relationships subjected to ironic questioning in their strange ambivalence of presumption and helplessness. "Lieber Kunstschaffender!" is included in the publication "Blätter" [Pages]. S.E.
