As one of the highlights of all the exhibitions and events we filmed for VernissageTV, we always wanted to republish the old footage in better quality – which we now finally did. Well, it’s obviously not HD, let alone 4k). So that’s how this video became the 73rd episode in our VTV Classics (r3) series. VTV Classics (r3) highlights the treasures of VernissageTV’s huge archive. Back then published in Standard Definition, these classics are now re-mastered, re-edited and reissued.
