POP ART ICON ROMERO BRITTO IN BERLIN

12.11.2011

Unfortunately I spend too little time visiting museums, theaters or galleries and enjoying the attractions that Berlin has to offer. I am therefore utterly pleased to be invited to the 50th anniversary celebration of the Mensing Gallery, the largest European art gallery. For the occasion, the gallery exhibits the finest paintings and sculptures of the world-famous American pop artist Romero Britto with whom it has successfully collaborated for over a decade.

Britto's incredibly colorful and exuberantly optimistic sprayed art does not only enchant his many fans gathered for the event but also wins me over ;-) I have the chance to chat with Britto a little bit and the energy, charm and passion exuding from him explains why his art is so popular worldwide. I also have the opportunity to meet a close friend of Britto, Anthony Kennedy Shriver. With the nephew of the legendary John F. Kennedy I talk about his work and commitment to "Best Buddies International".
