21. December 2022: Austrian premium label AlphaTauri opened its first international flagship store outside Austria, in London's posh Knightsbridge district. The pre-opening in November was attended by high-profile guests from the world of fashion, sport and music. The host was none other than Red Bull veteran David Coulthard. Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda, the drivers of the F1 team Scuderia AlphaTauri also did not miss the opening. VIP guests were of course dressed in AlphaTauri, as well as Ex Spicegirl Geri Horner, who wore an AlphaTauri dress. Guests enjoyed a performance by British artist Raye as well as DJ sets by Lou Hayter and Nabhaan Rizwan.
The 326m2 AlphaTauri store on Brompton Road in Knightsbridge was designed by Austrian design studio Riebenbauer, which has offices in Berlin, Vienna and Los Angeles. AlphaTauri's design language is simple and iconic; the monochrome brushed aluminium interior - punctuated with natural materials - is equally clear. A 6-metre-high LED wall spanning two floors with immersive sound changes depending on the time of day. Nearby is a Formula 1 racing car from Scuderia AlphaTauri assembled from original parts. The respective new collections can be viewed on digital screens. Other services include Click & Reserve, Drop It, Dry Cleaning and alterations. The opening of the flagship store in London brings the number of AlphaTauri stores to four. In 2016, stores were opened in Salzburg and Graz. In 2021, the flagship store was opened in Vienna, with a view of the historic St. Stephen's Cathedral.

Leon Löwentraut celebrated at Bucherer's 1888 TimeMachine Store in New York. Since the acquisition of US watch retailer Tourneau, Bucherer has been activating its luxury clientele at the New York flagship with events and art exhibitions, such as Picasso and Damien Hirst. The latest catch is Germany's young art star Leon Löwentraut. His openings are always mega parties and star-studded and so even DJ Alexandra Richards, daughter of Keith Richards performed.

The Visit of Trash People Circular Valley Forum Ansgar Van Treeck
Art Calendar / Environment / Business, 19 November 2022
HA Schult's Trash People at the Circular Valley Forum in Wuppertal on 18 November 2022."Check the thing you want to throw away and don't give it away. It is the mirror of yourself. Don't betray your soul." 600 decision-makers from business and politics came together, including environmental activists from the early days such as HA Schult and former Federal Environment Minister Klaus Töpfer, described by the Forum as the "father of the circular economy". The participants were surprised by the Trash People, many of whom had never seen the artworks up close before. But the performance also shows what role artists play. They are not among the decision-makers, but art has the power to unite and emotionalise people, as it did on this evening.

Art Cologne 2022. The results. The art market works. Figures reported. Art Cologne came to an end today. Now taking place in autumn, Art Cologne was well prepared, with a new hall layout, wide plazas, floor strips and security. Around 43,000 people visited the fair to see the curated range of contemporary works, classical modernism and post-war German art. It was questionable how the results would turn out, given the energy crisis and the Ukraine war: Read on if you're interested in numbers:

Rock band Placebo X Stuart Semple: limited-edition vinyl and an entirely new colour.
An exclusive interview.
The British rock band Placebo has released a limited vinyl edition "Placebo Paint", designed by the exceptional British artist Stuart Semple. Stuart Semple, also known as the "pigment activist", was the first to raise the issue of the intellectual property of a paint. Also in the media was his legal dispute with the English artist Anish Kapoor, in which he criticised the so-called monopolisation of "Vantablack". His new colour creation "Placebo", a beautifully changing shade of purple, is available to everyone.
