His tomato is 67 by 85 centimeters and costs 80,000 euros.
Artist Herrmann is the new discovery of the Munich gallery owner Sarah Kronsbein.
Hermann used to be a potato farmer - and was annoyed by how the pressure to perfectionism in food production came at the expense of nature, farmers and consumers.
Art is the best medicine in the world,” says Sarah Kronsbein.
And not without reason.
The daughter of the Munich cult gallery owner Dirk G. Kronsbein († 81), who died unexpectedly from Corona on October 6, 2021, has had a difficult time.
After the death of her father, with whom she had run his gallery, she initially did not know for a long time that her health was also in poor condition.
Of course, she had contracted Corona during her last visits to her father, but the disease seemed to be quickly overcome - and the young woman attributed the fact that she was barely able to function to grief.
But this tiredness just wouldn't go away.
The feeling of being beaten still affected her everyday life two years later.
The Munich sports medicine doctor Professor Martin Halle then discovered that she was suffering from Long Covid - the virus had attacked her body in such a way that it was no longer able to recover after exertion as it used to.
For Sarah Kronsbein that meant conserving her strength.
And so she got off to a much slower start than initially planned.

Restart with concussion and injuries
Now she celebrated a great debut at the beginning of March 2024.
Despite a fall three days earlier, with injuries to his forehead and a concussion.
“I should actually lie down, but that wasn’t possible, my exhibition is a matter of the heart that cannot be postponed,” says Kronsbein.
The title Alice in Wonderland was very appropriate because, just like Alice in Lewis Carroll's novel, the high-profile guests felt like they were in a world of wonder.
Sarah Kronsbein's plan to develop young, promising artists seems to be working.
Just like her father, who brought Banksy to Munich when the entire art world wasn't yet talking about him, she now brought Hermann Nachbaur with his oversized, shiny crops and animals - a gold-plated carrot, a 67 by 85 centimeter tomato for 80,000 euros and a two-meter brown hare - in her private apartment on Maximilianstrasse in Munich.
Nachbaur, a former potato farmer, knows that perfect-looking vegetables often do not keep their promise after a taste explosion.

Anna von Bismarck is annoyed by the pressure to achieve perfection
“I think it is very important that the artist conveys to us that external perfection is often neither good for us, nor for nature, nor for farmers,” says Anna von Bismarck.
“Great, in the delicatessen it is an open secret that the perfect ingredients are not those that look like they come from a picture book,” says Marianne Wille (Dallmayr), who, by the way, always cooks herself.

Stephanie Gräfin von Pfuel hates kohlrabi, Denise Schindler calls it her favorite vegetable
She can't miss the culinary works of art by Austrian star chef Kevin Micheli - including potatoes with spinach and truffles, served in a golden eggshell.
“The works are fantastic,” says Stephanie Gräfin von Pfuel, who prefers tidying up the kitchen to cooking herself.
“I oversalt everything and do everything wrong.” On the other hand, she likes to eat almost everything – “the only thing I can’t stand is kohlrabi and Brussels sprouts, only in the gilded form like they are here.”

The oversized crops even convince Konstantin von Randow, who has been the partner of Stephanie von Luttitz, the daughter of presenter Uschidämmrich von Luttitz, for more than a year: “This is the first time that modern art has grabbed me, actually I am more than that the type for paintings like those by Carl Spitzweg,” says the Bundeswehr officer from Upper Palatinate.
