This publication from 2014 offered the first insights into selected works from the Wemhöner Collection and was created to accompany an exhibition at the Osram Höfe in Berlin.

The essay by Roland Nachtigäller addresses the subject of collecting and explains that collecting is far more than the accumulation of objects: it is a form of experiencing and appropriating the world. Private art collections emerge from personal encounters, individual perspectives, and passions, reflecting the subjective dialogue between people, art, and the world.
