After 28 years in New York, I'm bidding farewell and returning to Europe this summer, filled with gratitude for the enriching experiences and support I've received. In recognition of this, I'm donating one of my works to the Consulate as a token of appreciation for their role in fostering cultural exchange. Enclosed are samples for consideration, with the hope that it finds a fitting home within the Consulate walls, continuing to inspire visitors for years to come.

I'm deeply thankful to everyone who has been part of my journey in New York, and while I embark on this new chapter, I carry with me cherished memories and a profound sense of connection to this vibrant community. Warm regards, Karsten Staiger.
