Kasper König

Kasper König doesn’t have a CV so much as a catalogue of bragging rights. He worked with Warhol in the Factory, was curating museum exhibitions at the age of twenty-three, cofounded Skulptur Projekte Münster, mounted the landmark German Pop show Westkunst in Cologne in 1981 (introducing Franz West to the world), cofounded Portikus gallery and has sired a dynasty of gallerists in the shape of sons Leo and Johann. Having directed Cologne’s Museum Ludwig since 2000, König recently renewed his contract – which had been due to end this year – until 2012. If the description ‘curator’ no longer does him justice, ‘force of nature’ might.
