Thanks to his large experience in the field of music, he has the strong belief that art is a broad system in which all specific art languages are mingling and converting, seeking mutual consent in their way of representing the world. Therefore, it was just a small step for him to dedicate himself exclusively to the visual arts. As an art curator and art dealer, he has organized different and important events such as the Multimedia Art Dialogue at the Main Palais, in Frankfurt in 2012, the Rolls Royce participation at the São Paulo Art Fair, in Brazil 2014, with a special stand supporting art and its relation with industry and craftsmanship; and, again, Rolls Royce presence in the Berlin Gallery Weekend 2015 with a special show at its place of business on the prestigious Kurfürstendamm.
In 2013, together with Alexander Stöckle, CEO of the Prolab Fotofachlabor, he founded the Stöckle Hauser Gallery in Stuttgart, dedicated to the best of modern and contemporary art and, with a special interest in the publishing of first-class art books that are related to the exhibitions being in progress at the gallery or as special single projects.
He showed artists like: Helena Almeida, Peter Krauskopf, Bernard Plossu, Florian Süssmayer, Regina Silveira, Ana Maria Tavares, Manuel Vilarino etc.

Bringing Arts to Business With its slogan “An eye to perceive, a heart to enjoy,” IAM International Arts Management connects art and busi- ness in an innovative way, contributing a sense of individuality to each project, while lending an ear to both, artist and company. The idea, to bring together international businesses and artists and art programs, was formally initiated by Dr. Ellen Andrea Seehusen in 2007, when she founded IAM International Arts Management GmbH. The concept grew out of her career was the First Class Product Manager for Lufthansa and BMW, where she regulary integrated art elements into several projects. For instance, she ran the BMW Brand Centres in Berlin and Munich which integrated exhibitions with renowned artists such as Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Fabrizio Plessi, Noritoshi Hirakawa and James Turrell others. During the exhibitions artist talks, panel discussions and related activities were held., accompanied by complimentary programs. Since 2007, she has curated exhibitions in China, collaborated with Design Worldwide Partnership (dwp) in Bangkok, and served as an artistic director of the Hamburg Art Week in 2011 and 2012. For Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, IAM has initiated and developed the global art program. To create signature art programs, individual art experiences, curated exhibitions, unique events and artist commissions IAM offers:

Andrea will explain how she has used these and other projects (e.g. including artist talks, panel discussions, exhibitions, installations and art tours) to create IAM’s Signature Art Programs which cover:
• AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF ARTISTS, PHOTOGRAPHERS, GALLERIES AND CURATORS
• PROGRAMS FOR ART & CULTURE
• ART SOURCING FOR ARCHITECTURE, INTERIORS, GARDENS AND PUBLIC SPACES
