“People come along [in twenty years or so] and can say what the work and the artist were really all about. What people will say about me then—or maybe not say—will be the only thing that finally counts. Whether or not I contributed to spreading a good mood. What I’m working on is for people to be able to say that Kippenberger had this really good mood”.
