For some reason, that funeral photo fascinates me. With its somber mood, the way the men are grouped and how they look into the camera, it almost feels like a carefully composed promotion photo for a film or something.

The Nazis brought the central European fixation on death and its ceremony to a high art.

And Andreas has a very refined aesthetic sense, as well.

Herzlichen Glueckwunsch to Mr. Wim for his fine work, and thanks to my friend, Paul Sack, for his wonderful collection and collegial aid to the collector community.

Yes, without Paul, I would have been "lost in space"!!
