Kasper König's death was announced by the Museum Ludwig in Cologne which he directed for twelve years until 2012.
Born in Mettingen in 1943, König curated numerous exhibitions throughout his career. He organized his first museum show with Claes Oldenburg at the age of 23. König was the initiator of the Skulptur Projekte Münster, a major outdoor sculpture exhibition held every ten years since 1977, which he last led in 2017. He also served as the rector of the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main and curated the much-discussed 10th edition of Manifesta in St. Petersburg in 2014.
