For several years, Jonathan Meese and Alexander Kluge were preoccupied with Hagen von Tronje, the fabled character from The Song of the Nibelungs. They were both mesmerized by this mysterious figure, whom Jonathan Meese renamed 'Hagen von Troja' (Hagen of Troy) one day.
Knust Kunz Gallery Editions was founded in 1982 under the name Galerie Sabine Knust. Continuous collaborations with artists like Georg Baselitz, Per Kirkeby, A.R. Penck, Markus Lüpertz, Jörg Immendorff, and Imi Knoebel formed an ongoing presentation of their print and graphic œuvre for over 30 years. In 1998 Matthias Kunz joined as partner.
