For Gerhard Richter is the proposed cultural property protection law of the Federal Government intervention in the freedom: “No one has the right to tell me what I do with my pictures,” Richter said in an interview with the “Dresdner Morgenpost”. He will his pictures not show any Commission and ask if he could sell them. “These people usually have no idea of art,” said Germany’s most famous contemporary artists. In his view, get images into the wrong hands, but eventually would find its way into a museum if they were good.
With the planned cultural property protection law, the Federal Government intends to regulate the protection of cultural property and also adjust to new EU law. Among other export restrictions should be tightened. Especially from the art market and collectors come partly vehement protests against the proposed law. The sculptor and painter Georg Baselitz had announced over the weekend in response to the law, withdraw its permanent loan from German museums.Judge said: “I would do the same as he. Get the photos from the museum, bring quickly to the market and clobbered” In addition, Richter said general against the current museum operation. For him there was already too much art in museums, and constantly need new spaces are filled. “So much quality in art can not exist.” If a picture is worth millions, it looked at the people, because it is expensive, complained of artists – it just go around spectacle. “With an image, with art that has nothing to do.”
