While enrolled for two semesters,as a research student at the Courtauld Institute in London MK begins to write about contemporary art, initially for the Swiss publications Kunst-Nachrichten and Kunstbulletin, followed by articles for Studio International in London and other international magazines like Kunstforum and Flash Art. 

In the late seventies, MK finds a large readership for his essays in Basler Zeitung. His full-page text on Picasso's last exhibition during the artist's lifetime - an unedited presentation of his vast output of the previous two years, shown in Avignon shortly before his death - stands out among many dismissive voices for its sympathetic analysis.
