Deutsche Mark

The  Deutsche Mark  (German pronunciation: [ˈdɔʏtʃə ˈmaɐ̯k], German mark, abbreviated "DM") was the official currency of West Germany (1948–1990) and unified Germany (1990–2002) until the adoption of the euro in 2002. It is commonly called the "Deutschmark" in English but not in German. Germans often say  "Mark"  or  "D-Mark" . It was first issued under Allied occupation in 1948 replacing the Reichsmark, and served as the Federal Republic of Germany's official currency from its founding the following year until 1999, when the mark was replaced by the euro; its coins and banknotes remained in circulation, defined in terms of euros, until the introduction of euro notes and coins in early 2002. The Deutsche Mark ceased to be legal tender immediately upon the introduction of the euro — in contrast to the other Eurozone nations, where the euro and legacy currency circulated side by side for up to two months. Mark coins and banknotes continued to be accepted as valid forms of payment in Germany until 28 February 2002. However, in 2012, it was estimated that as many as 13.2 billion marks were in circulation, with polls showing a narrow majority of Germans favouring the currency's restoration.

The Kid (artist)

THE KID is a contemporary artist who questions social determinism and the frontier between innocence and corruption in modern societies. Half Dutch and half Brazilian, The Kid lives and works both in Paris and Amsterdam where he has, respectively, his painting and sculpture studios.

The Kid's socially-committed and thought-provoking art works include wall-size blue Bic ballpoint pen drawings, charcoal drawings, and oil paintings, as well as controversial hand-made hyper-realistic lifesize silicon sculptures and installations. In recent years, The Kid's works have been exhibited at the Louvre and Le Grand Palais and during solo and group shows at ALB Anouk Le Bourdiec Gallery in Paris, France.

Through the social and political dimensions of his subjects and due to an influential collectors' international audience, The Kid has also become a committed supporter of the leading International non-governmental organization Human Rights Watch, in particular for its fight against social discrimination and juvenile justice, two repeating themes of The Kid's art work. Beyond Paris, he has also lived and worked in New York, London, and Milan.
