About Books - at my apartment I have two big bookshelves, and I lost count how many books I have. Some are really old, I got from my grandfather. Some I bought myself since my youth. Some were given to me. I have a studio elsewhere in Vienna, with a large shelve, mostly books about art, and catalogues. The owners of the building (which currently houses over 40 artists) decided not to renew our leases, so after expiry March 2026, we have to move out. The place, formerly a office building, will be torn down. What I do with my artwork stacked up and all thse books, I don't know yet. No room at my residence. So I will have to look for storage, unless I find another studio someplace that is affordable. One thing for sure: I won't give my books away. I read most (but not all) and re-read some of them several times.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! I knew some artists here who were recently in the same situation - difficult stuff. I hope you find a place, preferably a studio (better than storage, no doubt). Do you think you'll let go of some of the books given the present circumstances, or is that out of the question?
