“To help kickstart the initiative, I am opening the auction with a piece from my personal collection: a powerful abstract painting by Claus Bertermann.”
Bertermann is a relatively unknown German artist and former architect. He describes his style as rooted in abstract expressionism and influenced by architecture, abstract art and art brut. De Bruyne will announce which work he is selling at a later date.
He appealed to artists and collectors to sell their work through this auction: “Every contribution counts. Art can change lives. This is your chance to make a difference!”
