Colson\u0026#39;s series is a tribute and at the same time an attempt to come a little closer to his example with a greater understanding of Kippenberger\u0026#39;s working methods, technique and use of materials. Since 2006, the series of portraits is stored in \u003cem\u003eHelena Sculpture\u003c/em\u003e, an installation that serves as a vault for an artistic treasure, or as a reliquary for the artistic pilgrim.

Ook de reeks van Colson is een eerbetoon, maar niet alleen dat: het is een poging om met meer inzicht over Kippenbergers\u0026rsquo; werkwijze, techniek en materiaalgebruik iets dichterbij het nalatenschap van zijn voorbeeld te komen.
