Torsten Schlüter has donated a double page for
“Everything on red. The 1st FC Union”
This somewhat different Union book tells the most exciting stories about the cult club from East Berlin, written by Thomas Brussig, Sönke Wörtmann, Torsten Schulz, Ronja von Rönne and Manuela Thieme, among others. The latter, in turn, paints a successful portrait of Torsten Schlüter, the artist and Union fan, in her text “Viel Zinnober und Kadmium”.
Excerpts:
” … His gallery owner exhibits him with Baselitz, Balkenhol, Hirst, Christo, Ramos, Warhol. Highly regarded colleagues. Torsten Schlüter shrugs his shoulders; he has always kept his distance from the art world. To this day, he remains a solitary artist, leaving art trends to others to worry about. He feels closest to Emil Nolde and Curt Querner. Schlüter’s themes, to which he has returned again and again over the years, are Hiddensee, India and the Union. A weird mix? Not for him: “What they have in common: free of frills, everything open.” …”
“…The man, tall, curly hair, sparkling eyes, stands there in a gray jumpsuit, his old flight suit covered in splotches of paint. As is the floor. Breathing masks are lying around, “you can’t stand the turpentine any other way,” he says. “The studio is my home game, my turf, my battlefield.” When asked if the Union red is something special: “Oh yes, it’s real red, I need a lot of cinnabar and cadmium for it.”
