Maybe our catalogue guy can help me out here. I see this lamp on many high end auctions and there are 3 different attributions: Otto Wash, Otto Wach and Otto Wasch. And it doesn't matter which attribution they give, it always ends up with high prices 🙂

getting a job
kunstbus,
"I've worked in one of the two most well-known high end auction houses and to get a steady position as an expert there and not only a trainee post, they look at your netwerk".
A partner in a law firm once told me that there a thousands of graduates that know the law (they are a dime a dozen), they need rainmakers (people who bring in business). They may even look at spelling (netwerk) as a criteria.
I would also look for a person who thinks on their feet and knows how to do their own homework.

Thank you Vintagestique for posting this!
Interesting to see that the lightbulb Wasch intended is quite different from the ones the lamp is usually pictured with today ( http://www.retrostart.com/item/10995/krekel---cricket-desk-lamp-by-otto-...).
Wasch' own choice makes the Grasshopper quite a bit longer (I just measured mine, marked Raak, and it is only 25 cm long, bulb included) and also gives it a leaner look.

Niceguy
I know that you will welcome this assistance: It's "a criterion", not "a criteria".

singular vs. plural
fastfwd,
Thank you. I do appreciate the correction (I am serious). Your guidance will insure that this grammatical error will never happen again.
Merry Christmas
