Negative "Stern" Article about Ernst Fuchs

Negativer "Stern" Artikel über

Negative "Stern" Article about 
Ernst Fuchs

Liebe Ernst Fuchs-Freunde!

Wir sind schockiert über den unwahren und diffamierenden Artikel im deutschen "Stern" über den angeblich verwahrlosten Zustand von Ernst Fuchs. Es ist unglaublich, dass sich eine einst angesehene Zeitschrift wie der "Stern" die Liebenswürdigkeit von Ernst Fuchs ausnützend und jeden journalistischen Kodex ignorierend, zu so einer Berichterstattung herablässt. Es wurde nicht einmal davor zurückgeschreckt, Ernst Fuchs im Schlaf zu fotografieren.

Kein Wunder, dass sich die Auflage dieses "Nachrichten-Magazines" in den vergangenen Jahren praktisch halbiert hat.

Wir haben am Erscheinungstag der Verleumdungs-Geschichte sofort Journalisten kontaktiert und sie eingeladen, Ernst Fuchs spontan zu besuchen. Die Reporter der "Krone", des "Kurier" und der Tageszeitung "Österreich" sind unserer Einladung gefolgt und konnten sich davon überzeugen, dass es Ernst Fuchs gut geht, und dass er umgeben von seiner Kunst und seinem Lebenswerk ein selbstbestimmtes Leben führen kann, wie es vielen anderen Menschen in seinem Alter leider nicht möglich ist. Die Artikel haben wir an diesen Blog angehängt.

Wir schreiben Dir/Ihnen diese Zeilen in erster Linie, um eure/Ihre möglicherweise bestehenden, aber wie gesagt unberechtigten Sorgen zu zerstreuen, sollten Sie den unwahren Artikel gelesen haben. Der Artikel ist derartig tendenziös geschrieben, dass er sich selbst diskreditiert und jedes detaillierte Kommentar überflüssig macht.

Wir möchten Sie aber auch wissen lassen, dass sich Ernst Fuchs und seine Familie diese entwürdigende, gegen alle Regeln des Anstandes verstoßende, öffentliche Diffamierung nicht gefallen lassen wird und dass nach Konsultation eines anwaltlichen Spezialisten alle anwendbaren rechtlichen Schritte unverzüglich eingeleitet werden.

Im Namen der Familie Fuchs

Dear Ernst Fuchs-Friends!

We are shocked by the false and defamatory article in the German "Stern" on the allegedly neglected state of Ernst Fuchs. It's incredible that a once prestigious magazine as the "Stern" would take advantage of the kindness of Ernst Fuchs, ignoring every journalistic Code and stooping to such a coverage. They did not even shy away from taking pictures of Ernst Fuchs in his sleep.

No wonder that the editions of this "news magazine" were practically halved in the last few years.

We immediately contacted journalists on the day of publication of this defamation story and invited them to visit Ernst Fuchs spontaneously. The reporters of the "Krone", of the "Kurier" and of the daily newspaper "Österreich" have accepted our invitation and were able to convince themselves that Ernst Fuchs is well, and that surrounded by his art and his life's work he can lead an independent life, which for many other people of his age is not possible. The items we attached to this blog.

We are writing these lines to you in the first place,to dispel your possibly existing, but as we said unwarranted worries, should you have read this untrue article. The article is so tendentiously written that it discredits itself, and any detailed comment is superfluous.

But we would also like you to know that Ernst Fuchs and his family will not tolerate this degrading, contrary to all rules of decency, public defamation and that after consultation with a specialist lawyer all the applicable legal steps will be taken immediately.

On behalf of the Fuchs family

The contentious and defamatory article is on page 62 in the German magazine STERN, issue Nr. 21, 13.5.2015.
the magazine is available in news outlets throughout Europe, primarily in German-speaking countries.
 

Here are the reactions of Austrian newspapers:

Der Titel "EINFACH PHANTASTISCH" folgt der bisherigen Linie des Ausstellungsprogramms. Das Barockschloss Riegersburg entwickelte sich Dank der Initiative von Frau Francesca Gräfin Pilati von Thassul in den letzten 10 Jahren zu einem Zentrum vor allem phantastischer Kunst. Durch seine exponierte Lage nahe der tschechischen Grenze in Niederösterreich wurde es ein Ort grenzüberschreitender Großausstellungen.
The title "EINFACH PHANTASTISCH" (Simply Fantastic) follows the previous line of the exhibition program. The baroque castle Riegersburg has in the last 10 years developed into a center for particularly fantastic art, thanks to the initiative of Mrs. Francesca Countess Pilati of Thassul. Due to its location near the Czech border in Lower Austria it has been a place of large-scale cross-border exhibitions.

Making Out – The Exquisite Diversity of Desire

Great! A number of our friends are featured in this show!

MAKING OUT- THE EXQUISITE DIVERSITY OF DESIRE @ GALLERYX

Since its opening in Dublin, Ireland only last year, GalleryX has been (with somewhat vivacious intention) causing quite a stir. After releasing its opening night featuring the best in alternatively impeccable Irish artists, a showing of arcane magic with Into The Dark and their most recent Macabre Gallery Show I, GalleryX haven’t shied far from the limelight where the provocatively flamboyant hold their heads high. Organised in support of the #YesEquality campaign, Making Out – The Exquisite Diversity of Desire will give you a new perspective on what desire really means.

Making Out – The Exquisite Diversity of Desire

Opening Reception:
May 14, 2015 | 6PM

Exhibition Dates:
May 15, 2015 – June 14, 2015

GalleryX
3 Herbert Street, Dublin, D2, Ireland
