His first gallery owner was the art dealer Michael Werner , who was also looked after by Galerie Zellermayer. He was later represented at various other galleries, such as Galerie Elke and Werner Zimmer, in Düsseldorf, Galerie Fred Jahn, Munich, De Weer Art Galerie, Outigem / Belgium or at Galerie Claude Samuel, Paris.

In 1970 he moved to Cologne and studied at the Rolandseck train station near Bonn . In 1977 he took part in documenta 6 , in 1982 in documenta 7 in Kassel , and in 1984 in the exhibition From Here - Two Months of New German Art in Düsseldorf .
