Scottish artist Douglas Gordon’s practice encompasses video and film, installation, sculpture, photography and text. Price winner of the Turner Prize in 1996, he received the Central Kunstpreis at Kölnischer Kunstverein in 1998 and presented a solo show at the institute in 1999. Udo Kittelmann was the director of the Kölnischer Kunstverein at the time (later he became director of the National Gallery in Berlin, a.o.). They had plenty of reasons for a friendly drink.
