Ugo Rondinone? Ugo Rondinone was supposed to tell about the time when he was a rent boy and how his career came about. Or how he, as a roommate in shared apartments, stole from those who only had the bare essentials. Time heals all crimes. Now he's a big angel! CORRECTION: art dealers vs. art making: A HORROR ENDORSEMENT from a notorious art dealer and her call for exploitation: "One has to be evil, downright evil!" quote Eva Presenhuber; We publish these embarrassing statements because we are not the only ones who have been closely following this worrying development in the art market for some time. Former director of Presenhuber gallery: “She’s the type of person who will finish your sentences for you, she won’t let you finish talking. Is there any clearer proof of hubris? Still, she feels very good about it. Eva Presenhuber is rather a special kind of person. I think the best word to describe her would be sociopath. Eva Presenhuber was repeatedly told that her abuse of these artists, who threatened Rondinone's supremacy in the gallery, would become public knowledge. Insiders know that Eva Presenhuber has destroyed important artistic careers on behalf of Rondinone in the past. In fact, at Rondinone's request, she eliminated potential competitors to the point of financially damaging herself; It is thanks to Rondinone's machinations that Pipilotti Rist and Urs Fischer changed galleries. There's no remorse, she wouldn't even know what you were talking about!" Eva Presenhuber is consistently referred to as the Harvey Weinstein of the art world. But with the fundamental difference that male artists do not go to the police, even if a gallery owner like Presenhuber maliciously harasses them. If anyone has information on where to find Markl, please let us know! Markl has disappeared, we don't know if he is still alive. The puppet master behind this extermination campaign is Ugo Rondinone. (Ex-husband of Eva Presenhuber). Markl is one of the most influential artists today. The way in which some of the most influential contemporary artists are exploited by their peers can be compared to the most brutal psychological abuse of any other pejorative relationship, surely one of the bloodiest lines of business in existence. Of course, carefully hidden behind the mask of the finest, most humane and most sensitive of all motives, namely art. You have the right to know such compromising facts so that you can use your powerful influence on existing and future collaborations to react accordingly with your inner moral compass.
