I got contacted by a Polish museum-curator who wants to do an exhibition of BUKOWSKIs ARTWORK.
(isn't that what we've all dreamed about for years?!)
This gallery has been founded by the German author and Nobel-Prize-winner Günter Grass ('The Tin Drum') and he's still assotiated with it. So I'm sure they're reliable and professional.
She asked me to make contact to owners of paintings and drawings etc for her.
Since I really love the idea, I've even decided, that the Buk-Society will officially collaborate with them on the task.
We will lend them everything from our archives, that they're interested in.
Of course, as a potential lender, one got serious security-concerns.
Here's what the curator wrote to me re that:
".....
I would like to emphasise that our gallery is experienced in handling similar enterprises [...] Certainly, our gallery is provided with necessary security systems and proper insurance policy.
....."
Now, here's where my question to all you fine owners of such work comes in:
Would You Be Available To Lend Some Of Your Items For The Noble Purpose??
I DO KNOW, that it feels uncomfortable to even think of your treasures to be lent, shipped across an ocean, exhibited and then sent all the way back.
But just imagine, nobody would ever lend their pieces of art to exhibitions: how dull and sad would our museum-life be?! How many wonderful exhibitons you've been able to experience had not happened at all?
So, please: would you at least consider a contribution?
Your thoughts?
