King Harald

“There are artists who like discussing – they should, there are artists who prefer to be left alone – then leave them alone …. I can only give the opportunity for an artist’s meeting, but I would never have the ambition to make the convocation. I’m only a Museum director. I’m not an artist, but I like freedom and peace.”
