This major German industrialist set up in Aachen the Universal Art Foundation, an institution without precedent where all contemporary works of art may be put side by side, contrasting their approaches, exchanging their magic, their visions. By donating whole sections of his private collection, Peter Ludwig has helped to broaden the range of museums in twenty-five major European cities. So we see that today's patrons of the arts are entirely faithful to the great European traditions of their predecessors: their success serves to beautify, their power to donate, their intelligence to dream.
