Kippi
,...once we sat in a noodleplace in Tokyo... anyone, anywhere... while waiting for the soup, Helke observed: the host looks like Bill Clinton! Our japanese host reported this and the whole restaurant started cackling...

when the door opened and - Kippenberger came in... everything we would have expected, but not this... with a "Hallöchen" he sat down at our table... looked at the host and said: the host looks like Bill Clinton...

this was Kippi: he smelled and saw it at the same time... he had a razorsharp view for a situation, ...and made something of it immediately... when he came to the Städelschule, he turned it upside down - totally productive for some...

completely impossible for others... ongoing discussions / competitions / tests of courage / trips / night owls,... he was 100% and achieved so much for the school ...subversive and offensive / sad and cheerful... MondayTuesdayWednesdayDay and Night...I think, at the beginning he took me for an ass...

and this rattled me in a productive way...then there were one or two definitions of position - and after that reciprocal respect...

I find it incredibly sad, that this figure will never enter the door again!
