While he has been painting since his mid-twenties, Mueller Stahl had refused to publicly exhibit his work. Finally, for his 70th birthday, a friend convinced him to show his work at the film museum in Berlin-Babelsberg. This catapulted his career as an artist, which quickly outshone his acting career, in museums and galleries all over Europe. He is also a published author, singer, and songwriter who recently returned from a 13-city European tour featuring his political songs.
On Saturday, Mueller-Stahl presented his newest collection of paintings, works on paper and fine prints at a reception hosted by Christian Hohmann Fine Art.
