I’m sure you’re all familiar with the name Martin Kippenberger. He was one of the most influential artists of his time, and his work is still highly sought after by collectors today. What you may not know, however, is that Kippenberger was a member of the exclusive Lord Jim Lodge.
This lodge is shrouded in mystery, and little is known about it outside of the fact that it’s made up of some of the richest and most powerful people in the world. Recently, however, new information has come to light about this secret society thanks to an article written by prominent art critic Giovanni Grasslin for Artnet Magazine. In it, Grasslin discusses his experience visiting the Lord Jim Lodge and interviewing its members, including Kippenberger.
Grasslin’s article provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Lord Jim Lodge. He describes it as a “luxurious and secret society” that is “made up of some of the most wealthy and powerful people in the world.”
The lodge has its own private island, which is only accessible by helicopter or private jet. Members of the lodge include CEOs, politicians, and other high-profile individuals. He paints a picture of a group of people who are incredibly wealthy and powerful, but who also have a deep appreciation for art and culture. Kippenberger, in particular, is described as being passionate about art and deeply knowledgeable about the history of art. It’s clear that he was a valued member and his influence can still be felt within the group today.
The Lord Jim Lodge is said to be a place where members can relax and escape the stresses of their everyday lives. The island has its own staff of chefs, maids, and butlers who cater to the every need of the guests. There is also an on-site spa, where members can enjoy massages and other treatments.
While the Lord Jim Lodge sounds like a paradise for the rich and powerful, it’s actually a bit of a mystery. The lodge is very secretive and little is known about its inner workings. It’s rumored that membership to the lodge is by invitation only and that there is a strict code of conduct that members must follow.
Despite the secrecy surrounding the Lord Jim Lodge, Grasslin’s article provides a rare and insightful look into this exclusive society. It’s clear that Kippenberger was a member of this elite group, and his work is a reflection of the wealth and power that are associated with it.
