Göttingen, Heidelberg, Tübingen and many others).In 2009, Brinkmann and Greek archaeologist Chryssoula Saatsoglu-Piliadeli planned to restore the original color of the grave fries on tumulus of the Macedonian king Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great.[10] The first version of the reconstruction work was completed in 2013 for two exhibitions: "Back to Klassik: Liebieghaus Sculpture Collection" in Frankfurt, and "Alexander the Great" in Lokschuppen Rosenheim.
The Italian authorities enabled Vinzenz Brinkmann and Ulrike Koch-Brinkmann to examine four important Greek bronze sculptures: the so-called Boxer at Rest, the so-called Hellenistic Prince and the two Riace bronzes,[11][12] to reproduce them in original materials and to reconstruct their original coloration starting in 2012. In the course of this research, new interpretations of the figures were developed.[13]
Since 2018 Vinzenz Brinkmann is member of the Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft an der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main.
