I don’t usually paint restaurants, but this project was special!
Located at Potsdamer Platz Berlin, the emperor's hall (Kaisersaal) has about 400 sqm of wall space I was asked to paint. Built in 1907/08 the former Hotel Esplanade had seen numerous famous guests like Max Beckmann, Greta Garbo or Charlie Chaplin before it was destroyed in the Second World War. It had been a movie set for films such as Cabaret (1972)or Wings of Desire(1987)and was a party location in the 90ies.
Invited by curator Michelle Houston of Yes And Productions and commissioned by Robert Angell Design International my team and I spent three weeks on site to paint facade, six meters high dining hall and the bar of Fredericks Berlin.
Thanks a lot for your support Yes And Productions, Restless Studio, David Rich, Michelle Hundertzehn und Anna Neis.
