I am an art historian based in Munich, specialising in the art and architecture of classical modernism and the present day. I studied at the universities of Göttingen and Halle-Wittenberg, at the State University of New York and at the German Center for Art History in Paris. Along the way I was awarded several scholarships, among them one from the German-American Fulbright Commission. My thesis examined cinema architecture in Berlin between Expressionism and New Objectivity.
I have worked at the Kunstsammlung Göttingen, at the Museumslandschaft Hessen-Kassel, in the education department of the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and in the curatorial department of the Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung in Munich. That mix is what I bring to a tour: the precision of research and the habit of explaining things to people who did not come to hear a lecture.
Today I guide at the Bauhaus Dessau, the Kunsthalle München and the museums of the Bavarian State Painting Collections. I am a member of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), of the German Association of Art Historians and of Beruf Kunstvermittlung e.V.
