Jakob Schwerdtfeger mit "Ein Bild für die Götter"

What does hot dog eating competitions have to do with art? How much rosé do I have to drink to avoid attracting attention in art connoisseur circles? And why do men always slap each other on the back as if the other man were a piñata when hugging?

Jakob Schwerdtfeger has the answers, because he is an art historian and battle rapper. His perspective on art is just as unusual as this combination: "For me, the Mona Lisa was like sex on the beach. I imagined it to be hotter." Jakob Schwerdtfeger worked at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt for a long time and has been performing on stage for eight years. He takes a humorous, self-deprecating and biting look behind the scenes of the art world and tells of risky April Fools' pranks with works worth millions.

Influenced by high culture and hip-hop, his life takes place between exhibition openings and cockfights. His topics range from chess to swimming pool fries, from baroque to Bushido. He always has a snoot on his shoulder and a mischievous streak in his neck. Oh yes, and in this show he reveals the surefire recipe for immeasurable wealth. You should have seen it, because Jakob Schwerdtfeger on stage is: a picture for the gods.
