Message of greeting

........Your request for an address at the opening of the exhibition

“Nine Days – Nine Artists: A Showcase of Work by Young Leipzig Artists” (“Neun Tage – Neun Künstler. Eine Werkschau junger Leipziger Künstler”) on 21 November of this year in Berlin....... cannot, try as I might, be arranged, and I ask most sincerely for your understanding!

I therefore take this opportunity to wish you and the participating artists every success!

I think the selection represents a “fitting” cross-section of Leipzig as an art centre, and I am delighted that Leipzig art can be so present in the capital. All good fortune to the venture!

With kind regards

Dr Georg Girardet, Deputy Mayor for Culture
