Ingrid Roosen-Trinks has enriched Berlin’s artistic and cultural scene for 15 years with her Collection of contemporary art and especially through her OPEN HOUSE events. The Salons she and her husband Helmut Trinks organised, in which a wide variety of famous personalities from art and culture met, are legendary.
