René and Christiane Scharf in conversation with Kathrin DuBois

Please note: The talk will be held in German.
The Scharf Collection continues the fourth generation of a branch of the renowned Otto Gerstenberg Collection in Berlin, which focuses on French art from the beginnings of modernism to the post-war period. Today, René Scharf and his wife Christiane Scharf also specialise in international contemporary artists, including works by Sam Francis, Martin Eder and Katharina Grosse.
In conversation with Kathrin DuBois, curator of the exhibition, they discuss the family tradition of collecting, their particular interest in the medium of painting, and the relationship between figurative and abstract pictorial worlds.
