Anything else you’d like to share about your ten-year relationship with the artist?

There were many memorable encounters with Paul Wunderlich and his wonderful wife, [photographer] Karin Szekessy. But the one that stands out the most was a visit my brother and I made out to his estate in the south of France. When we arrived, his wife greeted us and almost immediately took us to the studio, where Wunderlich was working with the famous Swiss lithographer Ernst Hanke on an experiment. They were about to transfer the complete surface of a three-dimensional object, in this case an artichoke, onto a lithography stone. Needless to say, we were speechless. To see Wunderlich at the age of 80, doing cutting-edge experiments in the field of lithography. He was creating a technique that no one had done before him, as he had already done many times in his life. It was an unforgettable moment that showed me the true artist always stays curious and never stands still, ever.
