This was followed by teaching activities in Osnabrück, Frankfurt am Main and Marburg. After doing cultural studies on the subject of the fair and advertising, he specialized in research on Baroque and Renaissance sculpture in the Liebieghaus , Museum of Old Sculpture, in Frankfurt am Main. Since then he has published numerous publications, especially on the history of Western sculpture, in a total of 20 languages.
