As a gallery owner, I am a great lover of art and books. So this week is a very special one for me: Yesterday (22.11.2023) a bookstore opened in Berlin – for just four weeks. Here you’ll find books that reflect and discuss the zeitgeist, as well as classics and forgotten treasures. The store is presented by the great magazine Apartamento, which provides tongue-in-cheek insights into the homes of special people, artists and personalities. You might discover that even some of these much-admired people don’t always hang up their towel after a shower or clear away their plates after breakfast or dinner. It’s wonderfully authentic and far removed from the coolness of glossy magazines. Maybe the trio Nacho Alegre, Omar Sosa and Marco Velardi will come to our artists’ booth and the 69salon by Kornfeld sometime … We’re excited and won’t be doing any extra cleaning, we promise! All book lovers can browse through the Apartamento Studio until 22.12. Incidentally, the store was designed by architect Sam Chermayeff and looks pretty hip with a silver bed and a rubber curtain that looks like milk.
Freddy Kornfeld is a Charlottenburg gallery icon with three spaces on Fasanenstraße: Kornfeld Galerie Berlin, 68projects and 69salon. He opened new exhibitions with Tammam Azzam, Philip Grözinger and Stefan Rinck on Saturday (18.11.2023).
