Now in it's 12th season, the Kunstautomat (Art Machine) on Sterngasse (Star Alley) in Nurnberg is still enjoying it's popularity. The Kunst Automat vows to keep art at decent prices and the 4th Dimension applauds the efforts of the artists involved. Sometimes the Art Machine dispenser will go on visits to various museums, even internationally. The project is the brainchild of Anna Bien and Winfried Baumann. Norbert's contribution can be seen on the far left.
I am all for the Kunst Aoutomat, it is a wonderful idea. I sure would like to see this in person and purchase an item or two as great souvenirs from my visit to Germany - At this point, I can only wish. Traveling is a challenge for me right now. Ah well., someday....... Thanks Norbert, I love this card and the spirit of this fantastic project. See you in the post.

Hi Ria, Yeah, thanks for the tip. I just checked it out and am somewhat astonished there are so many in the USA. Two or three in Portland, about an hour drive from here. I'll be investigating this sooner than later and shall be happy to write an account of the interesting machines in this blog. Stay tuned. And nice to hear from you, my old friend. See ya in the mail indeed!
