Udo Kittelmann, 49, has been appointed director of the Berlin state museums -- notably, the Alte Nationalgalerie, the Neue Nationalgalerie and the Hamburger Bahnhof Museum für Gegenwart. Regarded a something of a contemporary art star, Kittelmann currently heads the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt and was director of the Cologne Kunstverein before that. He was commissioner of the prize-winning German pavilion at the 2002 Venice Biennale, which presented an installation by Gregor Schneider.
