“I would still like a malignant cynical, funny book,” said Joop of the German Press Agency. “You experienced so many anecdotes”. The designer living in Potsdam will be 81 in November.

The retrospective in the Kuntraum Potsdam provides an insight into the creative creation of Joops with exhibits that have not yet been shown. In addition to fashion designs, numerous of his paintings and sculptures can be seen. Monkeys and angels are central motifs of his art.
