I am thrilled to have had some great opportunities here for recording oral history related to the artist I’m working on. A recent interview was particularly exciting: after hearing from multiple sources that the family no longer owned any of her work, I learned that quite the opposite is true. While most of her well-known works are now in museums, many of the very early works were there (which I’d read about but not seen), many location-unknown mid-career works were there, as well as quite a few late, til-now-unknown works.
And, I am still searching out new archives and libraries–apparently endless in Berlin–and am very glad for helpful archivists and friendly librarians.
