At Art Cologne 2009 Galerie Eva Winkeler presented an installation by German artist Claus Richter. Claus Richter’s installation takes the visitor away from the art market to another place, a narrow lane with abandoned shop windows and vitrines, empty cookie tins and – rats!

Conny Kuilboer, Bernd Thiele and Claus Richter performed to the song “Put on a Happy Face” from the 1960s Musical “Bye Bye Birdie”, in a new interpretation by Claus Richter.

Claus Richter was born in Lippstadt, Germany in 1971. He lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Claus Richter: RATS! at Galerie Eva Winkeler, OPEN SPACE / Art Cologne 2009. April 25, 2009.
