David Died

After two years of increasingly severe illnesses, David died in hospital in Wuppertal. Susanna, Gantt. and Christorph Muntersman were there. We were in Mane.

 FORCALQUIER: David Galloway, Forcalquieren sans frontières,  David Galloway had chosen our  small town as a second residence but was far from considering it as “secondary”.  Lover of the arts, of all the arts, refined man whom we remember to always meet elegant and smiling, he had adopted the city of countries.  He marveled and rejoiced that such a pretty city, with such a fascinating artistic experience, could remain so discreet and authentic.  He loved his cultural diversity and had identified there – he said delighted, “more than 49 nationalities”.  David liked to organize here in Haute-Provence meetings between artists from all over the world.  It welcomed artists, plastic artists and photographers in residence.  David had been curator of the Tehran museum, had organized major renowned exhibitions but he seemed to be just as enthusiastic about his most modest actions at Forcalquier, in particular the exhibitions he helped organize at the Galerie Passère above all because it  was Forcalquier and that he deeply liked to add his touch to this city.  He was eager to bond with local actors.  In the same spirit, he opened wide the doors of his home and his Music Room to students of the Conservatory.  This house, his work of art, more than 40 years of work, renovations where everything had been thought of down to the smallest detail, he was happy to know that when he left, she would always be there, a trace of his passage and  his life with us in the heart of Forcalquier.  Rest in Peace David Galloway.

The English seminar mourns the loss of Prof. em.  Dr.  David Galloway
2020-01-16
The former chair of American Studies died on December 28, 2019 at the age of 82 in Wuppertal.  From his appointment in 1972 until his retirement in 2002, Professor Galloway shaped the scientific and cultural life at the English Department and at the Faculty of Philology in a very special way.  With his charismatic manner, Professor Galloway understood how to inspire his students for American literature and culture.  From an early age, he opened American teaching for cultural and artistic impulses, incorporated new forms of teaching and also unusual topics, encouraged creativity and independence.  Professor Galloway leaves behind an impressive journalistic work with countless scientific, journalistic and feature texts on art, design, architecture and literature.  In addition to his work at the seminar, he was internationally known as a novelist, art expert and curator.  In the 1970s, Professor Galloway set up the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tehran, arguably the most important collection of contemporary art in the non-Western world.  In 1988 he became a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, later he curated and opened exhibitions, among others.  in Basel, Moscow, Venice and Vienna.  We are grateful for the time David Galloway spent with us at the English seminar and for the traces he left.  We will honor
 his memory.

Oh David!

David was legally American but died in Germany without a will and  all the documentation Germany requires to die.

His heir lives in America and speaks neither German nor French.

His property was primarily in France with additional assets in Germany.

He lived alone.

He left practically no cash assets to fund a funeral or estate settlement and his heir is in financial straights.

His assets were in large part pieces of art that were uncatalogued and impossible to value. 

His house in France was left unoccupied and insecure in an area with very high home break in rates.

He left multiple requests for after his death that will be expensive and difficult or even impossible to execute.

His family is flaky and lacks the resources to solve all the above problems.
