Wir trauern um Elisabeth Büttner, die nach längerer schwerer Krankheit am letzten Februarsonntag gestorben ist. Sie hat als Kuratorin, Autorin, Wissenschafterin, Mitglied der Auswahlkommission und schließlich des Vorstands seit den frühen 1990er-Jahren mit uns zusammen gearbeitet. Ihre Genauigkeit im Konzipieren und Sprechen, ihre inhaltliche Kompetenz und ihre supervisorischen Qualitäten, ihre Dynamik und ihr Witz werden uns sehr fehlen.
