Independent Artist Statement

Dear all,
It is about time to clarify an important fact about my professional status:
I AM AN INDEPENDENT ARTIST. NO AGENT, NO MANAGEMENT, AND NO DEALER ACTS ON MY BEHALF WORLDWIDE.
My artistic practice is fully independent. I have no exclusive representation anywhere. I work with selected partner galleries on a non-exclusive, regional basis — Galleri Nijenkamp (Odense, Denmark) is a confirmed partner — but no third party speaks for me or my work.
From time to time, information may circulate suggesting third-party representation of my work. I would like to clarify that any such claims do not reflect my current professional status.
All works presented on my official website bertermann.art are offered directly by me, the artist.
My website bertermann.art is the only official platform where I publish current projects, new works, and verified information about my practice.
Collectors, galleries, and art professionals are warmly invited to contact me directly.
This marks a deliberate step toward autonomy, transparency, and direct relationships — both creatively and professionally.
I want to thank you all for your continued support,
Claus Bertermann
