Overview

• Kunstraum Potsdam presents a late‑career survey from October 4 to November 18, with free admission daily from 12:00 to 20:00.
• The vernissage gathered family, friends, and invited guests, with Brandenburg’s culture minister praising Joop’s breadth of creativity.
• Curated by Joop’s partner Edwin Lemberg, the 450 m² presentation brings runway work together with sketches, illustrations, paintings, and marble pieces for the first time in this breadth.
• Runway collections once shown in Paris and Milan are restaged via video projection, while a recurring ‘Affenliebe’ motif appears in acrylics, silver‑thread embroidery, and black marble busts with a golden rosary.
• Approaching 81, Joop voiced reflective sentiments about his career and said he could imagine writing a cynical, funny book, while organizers said the show could travel without firm plans.
