Surrealism, Fax +49(0)30-266-2995 a movement seeking to renew art whose principles were proclaimed in a manifesto by André Breton in the Paris of 1924, is at the centre of the www.smb.museum collection. www.smb.museum/presse Nearly all members of the group of Surrealists are represented by selected works in the collection. There are larger groups of works, in particular, by René Magritte, Max Ernst and Hans Bellmer, but also by Wols and Paul Klee. The central pictorial strategies of Surrealism, such as combinatorics, metamorphosis and pure psychic automatism are illustrated by numerous virtuoso examples. Surrealism has its place in a significant line of tradition in occidental art. The earliest works in the collection include Piranesi's illustrations of fantastical dungeon architecture as well as the nightmarish ghostly figures in Goya's etchings. French Symbolism of the late 19th century is represented by paintings of Odilon Redon and Gustave Moreau, as is its German counterpart in the form of graphic cycles of Max Klinger. The spectrum of art on exhibit is augmented by a film programme which includes both the classic surrealist films of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí as well as films by contemporary artists who draw upon Surrealism or use its formal instruments in their work. The National Museums in Berlin are a institution of the Foundation of Prussian Cultural Heritage Press Release History of the collection The Collection Scharf-Gerstenberg presents the holdings of the "Stiftung Sammlung Dieter Scharf zur Erinnerung an Otto Gerstenberg", the foundation of the Dieter Scharf collection in remembrance of Otto Gerstenberg. The starting point lies in the collection gathered together by Otto Gerstenberg (1848-1935) in Berlin around 1910. He compiled one of Seite 2 von 4 the largest collections of painting and graphic art of his time, covering a broad range of periods from the Old Masters to Impressionism. National Museums Otto Gerstenberg's passion for collecting art was continued by his in Berlin grandsons Walter Scharf (1923-1996) and Dieter Scharf (1926-2001). The General head office latter took over the graphic cycles by Piranesi, Goya and Klinger as a Stauffenbergstraße 41 founding stock for his own collection which focuses on the fantastic and the 10785 Berlin surreal. With great determination and consistency, he assembled an Head of department outstanding collection which, shortly before his death, he converted into a Press - Communication - foundation which was to present its holdings on a permanent basis in Sponsoring Berlin. Dr. Matthias Henkel In 2000, the collection was exhibited with great success under the title kommunikation@ "Surreale Welten (Surreal Worlds) in the New National Gallery. A ten-year smb.spk-berlin.de loan contract thereafter secured the collection for the National Museums in Press enquiries Berlin. With its thematic focus, the collection represents an ideal Dipl. phil. Anne Schäfer-Junker supplement to "Picasso and his time”, the exhibition on show in the a.schaefer-junker@ Museum Berggruen located opposite. With this additional highlight, the smb.spk-berlin.de museums in Charlottenburg become a centre for the art of the early 20th century. Fon +49(0)30-266-2629 Fax +49(0)30-266-2995 Museum ensemble Charlottenburg - the architecture www.smb.museum www.smb.museum/presse The Scharf-Gerstenberg collection will be housed in the building erected in the 1850s by the architect Friedrich August Stüler and located opposite Charlottenburg Palace. Between 1967 and 2005, the buildings, originally designed in 1851 for the horses, coaches and life guards of King Wilhelm IV, were used by the Egyptian Museum until it moved back to the Museum Island. The conversion of the buildings for the presentation of the Scharf- Gerstenberg collection was carried out according to plans by the architectural offices of Sunder-Plassmann. As a new addition to the building, the architectural office of Sunder-Plassmann have designed a generously glazed entrance area with a café. In this way, the courtyard wedged between the Collection Scharf-Gerstenberg, the Museum of Local History (Heimatmuseum Charlottenburg), the Plaster Cast Collection (Abguss-Sammlung Antiker Plastik), and the Natural Science Collections can be experienced as a new kind of urban architectural ensemble. The National Museums in Berlin are a institution of the Foundation of Prussian Cultural Heritage Press Release The future concept for exhibitions The entire ‘Surreal Worlds' collection will be put on display to mark the occasion of the opening of the new house in July 2008. And visitors will be able to enter the Collection Scharf-Gerstenberg through the new entrance in the gap between the two parts of the historical building. As well as the individual exhibits, a looped sequence of films will also be Seite 3 von 4 shown on repeat in the Sahure Hall. Such classics of Surrealist cinema as ‘Un Chien Andalou' by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí will be shown alongside selected films by contemporary artists.

Upon entering, visitors to the collection will be greeted by the gate to the Kalabsha Temple Head of department as they cross over to what used to be the royal stables. Press - Communication - Sponsoring In 1963 German archaeologists saved the Nubian Kalabsha Temple from Dr. Matthias Henkel flooding during the Aswan dam proJect. Eight years later Germany in return kommunikation@ received the monumental gate as a token of the Egyptians' gratitude. The smb.spk-berlin.de sandstone blocks from the gate, which stem from the time of around 20 BC were originally found in the temple's foundations, after having already Press enquiries been used in another construction. Once in Berlin the gate was Dipl. phil. Anne Schäfer-Junker a.schaefer-junker@ reconstructed in its original form. Its monumentality creates the perfect smb.spk-berlin.de frame for the long walk to the stables and the Collection Scharf- Gerstenberg itself. Fon +49(0)30-266-2629 Fax +49(0)30-266-2995 The architectural components of the Temple of Sahure themselves have an equally eventful tale to tell. Excavations by a contingent of Germans took www.smb.museum place in Abusir from as early as 1902 to 1908. Although the Pyramid of www.smb.museum/presse King Sahure, dating from around 2400 BC, was found to be in a bad state of repair, the temple complex on the other hand was largely in tact. When the finds were divided up between Germany and Egypt, a large part of the temple columns and architrave found their way to Berlin. And since the 1980s these have then been housed in the Sahure Hall, designed especially to accommodate them. Now when combined with the obJects on display from the Collection Scharf-Gerstenberg, the Egyptian architectural exhibits have become a surreal element in their own right. Catalogue Two special publications on the ‘Surreal Worlds' collection will be produced to commemorate the opening of the museum. The catalogue of the collection, published by Nicolai, will contain numerous essays from renowned experts of Surrealist art and will be interspersed with large- format colour prints of the works, explaining not only the history and structure of the Collection Scharf-Gerstenberg, but also analyzing the chief proponents of the Surrealist movement. A selection of around 80 main The National Museums in Berlin are a institution of the Foundation of Prussian Cultural Heritage Press Release works from the Collection Scharf-Gerstenberg will also appear in a second book, which will be brought out by the Prestel publishing house in their series of museum guides.

    A MORAL PERSUASION: THE NAZI-LOOTED ART RECOVERIES OF THE MAX STERN ART RESTITUTION PROJECT, 2002-2013 by Sara J. Angel A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Sara J. Angel 2017 PhD Abstract A Moral Persuasion: The Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013 Sara J. Angel Department of Art University of Toronto Year of convocation: 2017 In 1937, under Gestapo orders, the Nazis forced the Düsseldorf-born Jewish art dealer Max Stern to sell over 200 of his family’s paintings at Lempertz, a Cologne-based auction house. Stern kept this fact a secret for the rest of his life despite escaping from Europe to Montreal, Canada, where he settled and became one of the country’s leading art dealers by the mid-twentieth century. A decade after Stern’s death in 1987, his heirs (McGill University, Concordia University, and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) discovered the details of what he had lost, and how in the post-war years Stern travelled to Germany in an attempt to reclaim his art. To honour the memory of Max Stern, they founded the Montreal- based Max Stern Art Restitution Project in 2002, dedicated to regaining ownership of his art and to the study of Holocaust-era plunder and recovery. This dissertation presents the histories and circumstances of the first twelve paintings claimed by the organization in the context of the broader history of Nazi-looted art between 1933-2012. Organized into thematic chapters, the dissertation documents how, by following a carefully devised approach of moral persuasion that combines practices like publicity, provenance studies, law enforcement, and legal precedents, the Max Stern Art Restitution Project set international precedents in the return of cultural property.

COMMENT THE LAST PRISONERS OF WORLD WAR Ill Margaret M. Mastroberardino I. INTRODUCTION "To the victor belong the spoils of the enemy."2 The Ro- mans exhibited treasures captured from their prisoners; Napo- 3 leon did the same almost two thousand years later. Throughout world history, looting treasures belonging to ene- mies in times of war has been a constant.4 Looting occurred as recently as the Persian Gulf War, where Saddam Hussein re- moved collections of cultural property from Kuwait. At the end of the 19th century, an idea emerged that cultural objects should be protected from armed, military conflict.5 As a result, the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 included provisions designed to "protect cultural institutions, historical monuments and works of art from premeditated seizure, destruction, or damage."6 During World War II, Adolph Hitler and his Nazi soldiers wrought havoc on Europe. In their quest to establish a superior 1 "They are the last prisoners of World War II, about to emerge from the dark rooms where they were locked away 50 years ago."

  • GREEN Museum Conference Booklet
    11.–12.04.2013 Berlin International Scientific Workshop Heritage Science and Sustainable Development for the Preservation of Art and Cultural Assets On the Way to the GREEN Museum Conference Booklet SCOPE OF THE WORKSHOP The term "Green Museum" brings together conservation science with the sustainable development for the preservation of art and cultural heritage. This involves three closely related issues: firstly, the preservation and conservation, i.e. the widest possible extension of life expectancy for our cultural heritage; secondly, the economic and infrastructural conditions for it; and finally the ecological energy and resource issue (energy efficiency, carbon footprint). In the sustainability debate, these three aspects can only be considered and evaluated together. The 'Green Museum' is a museum that embraces the concept of sustainability in its program, its activities and its physical presence. Here conservation science programs share a particular responsibility. An important element of sustainable development in the field of museums and monuments is preventive conservation with all its elements, including the various challenges of climate, temperature and humidity, light, pollutants etc. The professional field of conservation and conservation science (Heritage Science*) has developed continuously since the foundation of the Rathgen Research Laboratory on the April 01st, 1888 as the first museum laboratory, especially in recent decades. Conservation research activities have to focus and need to develop modern concepts in interdisciplinary collaborations that are consistent with both the primacy of heritage conservation as well as environmental and financial desiderata. They must integrate all three dimensions of sustainability, ecology, economics and society in order to cope with the immense challenges of the future.
