Information for Gallerists and Collectors

Burkhard Driest was a well distinguished contemporary in the feuilletons from big German daily and weekly newspapers, as well as in the tabloid press. Though, barely anyone knew him as painter. When it came to his art, Burkhard Driest exercised great restraint towards any form of publicity. Beginning from his 18th age on, when he started painting, until his death in 2020, he only showed a few times parts of his art. The artist Jill Mercedes (1986) and the famous theater director Peter Zadek (1987) were the first ones to persuade him to do so.

So, it applies to discover a great artist, whose extensive artistic work the most sustainable and valuable good is, he has left the world.
The Schuster Collection includes fifty works, which Burkhard Driest painted between 1984 and 1988.
