Achievements

• 

  Gregor Hildebrandt is an accomplished artist who has discovered another capacity of cassette tape and vinyl, in addition to its initial function of a storage medium. Applying it as an artistic medium, he revealed its ability to furnish the artwork with the aspect invisible to the viewer’s eye, in particular, collective and personal memories in the form of the pop-cultural songs, movies, and parties prerecorded on the tapes.
  
  Hildebrandt has been a recipient of the GASAG Art Prize and Vattenfall-Kunstpreis Energie.
  
  Hildebrandt’s artworks are acquired by Berlinische Galerie, Centre Pompidou, Museum van Bommel van Dam, the Netherlands, and numerous private collections, including Martin Z. Marguelis Collection, Sammlung Südhausbau, Collection Robert and Renée Drake, Collection Steve and Chiara Rosenblum, and Burger Collection in Zurich and Hong Kong.
  
  In 2010, 'Faith' by Gregor Hildebrandt was purchased at Phillips in London for $77,153.
