LIST OF REFERENCES 92 1 Introduction 1.1 Public Museums as Observers Both private and public musuems own to the public their commitmend to the communication of knowledge, their task is to present an obejctive past and present and to establish connections between them that are relevant for a broad public. It is thereby curious to get to the bottom of the question whether exhibiting private collections, in both private and public museums, change the traditional purpose and ethics of a museum today? When observing the numerous new museums founded between the 1990s until today, one might think that museums are in a continuous boom. In 2018, 8800 exhibitions opened in Germany alone and the trend seems to be rising.1 However, many public museums are struggling for survival, as operation costs as well as the acquisition of contemporary artworks is hardly possible for public institutions anymore. This paper will explain why public museums a suitable place for private collections and why more and more public museums are creating exhibitions from private collections.2 This thesis argues for the importance of public museums as exhibition venues for private collections. The research is conducted through a case study of the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, the thesis evaluates the benefitis and disadvantages of private collections in public musuems and to understand the context and particularities of why several private collectors prefer to open their own museum instead of presenting their collection in public ones. The following questions constitute the core of this master’s thesis: What are the reasons for this phenomenon that began in the 1990s and led to more and more collectors establishing private museums for their art collections instead of exhibiting them in public museums? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these respective exhibition models, both for the public museum and the private collector? What problems, but also potentials, do both variants have? What are the conditions under which private collections can be successfully displayed in public musuems and when can those relationships break down? What are the terms that public museums can accept for the display of privately-owned artworks? How does the public museum favour the experience of art for the viewer? Is the exhibition process of public museums more democratic than of private museums? 1 See: Statista, “Entwicklung der Anzahl von Ausstellungen in Deutschland.“ 2 The definition for a private collection describes very briefly the collecting of objects by private individuals. See: Chapter 2.1 DisamBigurations – Collection. 2 Since 2003, the Hamburger Bahnhof has entered into an agreement with the private collector Friedrich Christian Flick to display his collection at Rieckhallen, located near the Hamburger Bahnhof facilities. The agreement was productive for both collector and musuem, but unfortunately broke down for the following reasons: The Senate's sale of the Rieckhallen, the city's lack of interest in the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection and the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation) lack of diplomatic handling of the situation. The collection now will be relocated back to the depots in Switzerland in September 2021. A study of this case can thus reveal meanings, problems and potentials about the difficulties and the benefits of the display of private art in public museums. Since the 1990s, more and more private collections with their privately purchased works have been appearing in public; on the other hand, public museums have only limited possibilities to acquire works, since the state is increasingly cutting funding and the costs of artworks is rising more and more. Two phenomena are therefore happening in parallel, neither of which improving the situation of public museums. It seems like the audience today is no longer looking for a public art space to appreciate art and learn about contemporary artists. Instead, art enthusiasts and the art community are gradually concentrating their attention on private collectors who have preferred to create their own private space in order to share with the world what has encouraged them in their own encounters with contemporary art and collecting.3 In many cases, public museums have to make themselves dependent on the loans and support of a growing number of private patrons with privat collections and donors who support state institutions through loans and thus keep the museum running. For the private collectors, this kind of cooperation means an enormous increase in the value of their collection. On the one hand, for the public museum it is an enrichment of their exhibitions, but also a restriction of freedom regarding the conception of the exhibitions and a certainly an economic dependence, because the collector wants to be entertained. There are collectors who claim that their collection should only be presented in its entirety.4 In the most problematic cases, this results in a few wealthy privileged individuals who determine which contemporary works of art are exhibited in the major public museums and are ultimately received within the public interested in art and which are not. 3 See: Doroshenko, Private Space for Contemporary Art, 4. 4 Like the Brandhorst Collection in Munich. 3 Evidently, it is of great importance for the general public that these private collections are made publicly accessible. There are two forms of accessibility by which a private collection can be made public: presenting the private collection publicly in its own museum or making the private collection available via exhibition in a public museum. The founding of privately-run museums has aroused great enthusiasm among private collectors and can be seen to be a new phenomenon in the museum landscape. These private museums are primarily dedicated to current and contemporary art and, with their remarkable exhibition and programme offerings, contribute to the revitalisation and profiling of the cultural landscape of their cities, while at the same time creating diversity and new qualities in the museum landscape. The second variant, exhibition of private collections in public museums, was common in the late 19th century but is now increasingly rare. Scholarly engagement with the subject has increased in recent years, and there is an overall increase in interest in museums, which is evident based on the growing number of visitors each year.5 The museum cannot be clearly assigned to one discipline, it is a phenomenon with interest from various academic disciplines, such as the social sciences, cultural studies, cultural management and art studies. The public museum, Hamburger Bahnhof, has been a topic of polemic in newspaper and media articles for a while now, since it is one of the largest contemporary private collections in Europe and it is leaving Berlin due to a foreign investor demolishing the so-called Rieckhallen, a side building of Hamburger Bahnhof, in order to develop office and residential space. This case presented a unique situation for examining the issue of whether private collections should be increasingly returned to public institutions instead of being presented in self-funded private museums. Therefore, this master's thesis examines the situation of the Hamburger Bahnhof (Nationalgalerie), a state-owned public museum that houses private collections by way of permanent loans in a former railway station that provides an ideal architectural setting for exhibiting contemporary art. 1.1.1 Presentation of the Examination Area In order to conduct an empirical and qualitative study, a representative selection is made from the public musuems of the research field, a so-called sample is selected. In this master’s thesis the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin has been selected. The interest of the current press reports in the Hamburger Bahnhof demonstrates how important it is to deal with the presentation of private collections in public museums. This thesis will firstly point out to some relevant theoretical literature 5 111 million visits in 2019 in German museums. See: https://www.tagesspiegel.de/kultur/besucherzahlen-in- museen-111-millionen-besuche-im-jahr-2019/26827984.html (15 March 2021) 4 and then, in a second step, examine its implementation using the example of the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection and the Hamburger Bahnhof. The Friedrich Christian Flick collection of contemporary art is named after collector himself Friedrich Christian Flick. It consists of approximately 2,500 works by 150 artists, and it has been on display in Berlin at the Hamburger Bahnhof since 2004.

  • Nuremberg Revisited in Burma? an Assessment of the Potential Liability of Transnational Corporations and Their Officials in Burma Under International Criminal Law
    NUREMBERG REVISITED IN BURMA? AN ASSESSMENT OF THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS AND THEIR OFFICIALS IN BURMA UNDER INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW By Mary Ann Johnson Navis A dissertation submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Laws Victoria University of Wellington 2010 1 ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on the role played by officials of transnational corporations and transnational corporations themselves in the situation in Burma. The main aim of this dissertation is to assess the liability of officials of transnational corporations in Burma and transnational corporations in Burma for crimes against humanity such as slave labour and for war crimes such as plunder under International Criminal Law. However at present transnational corporations cannot be prosecuted under International Criminal Law as the International Criminal Court only has jurisdiction to try natural persons and not legal persons. In doing this analysis the theory of complicity, actus reus of aiding and abetting and the mens rea of aiding and abetting in relation to officials of transnational corporations will be explored and analysed to assess the liability of these officials in Burma. In doing this analysis the jurisprudence of inter alia the Nuremberg cases, the cases decided by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) will be used. This dissertation also examines the problems associated with suing or prosecuting transnational corporations due to the legal personality of transnational corporations and the structure of transnational corporations. At the end of the dissertation some recommendations are made so as to enable transnational corporations to be more transparent and accountable under the law.

  • PICASSO Les Livres D’Artiste E T Tis R a D’ S Vre Li S Le PICASSO
    PICASSO LES LIVRES d’ARTISTE The collection of Mr. A*** collection ofThe Mr. d’artiste livres Les PICASSO PICASSO Les livres d’artiste The collection of Mr. A*** Author’s note Years ago, at the University of Washington, I had the opportunity to teach a class on the ”Late Picasso.” For a specialist in nineteenth-century art, this was a particularly exciting and daunting opportunity, and one that would prove formative to my thinking about art’s history. Picasso does not allow for temporalization the way many other artists do: his late works harken back to old masterpieces just as his early works are themselves masterpieces before their time, and the many years of his long career comprise a host of “periods” overlapping and quoting one another in a form of historico-cubist play that is particularly Picassian itself. Picasso’s ability to engage the art-historical canon in new and complex ways was in no small part influenced by his collaborative projects. It is thus with great joy that I return to the varied treasures that constitute the artist’s immense creative output, this time from the perspective of his livres d’artiste, works singularly able to point up his transcendence across time, media, and culture. It is a joy and a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible collection, and I am very grateful to Mr. A***, and to Umberto Pregliasco and Filippo Rotundo for the opportunity to contribute to this fascinating project. The writing of this catalogue is indebted to the work of Sebastian Goeppert, Herma Goeppert-Frank, and Patrick Cramer, whose Pablo Picasso.

  • Northern Gothic: Werner Haftmann's German
    documenta studies #11 December 2020 NANNE BUURMAN Northern Gothic: Werner Haftmann’s German Lessons, or A Ghost (Hi)Story of Abstraction This essay by the documenta and exhibition scholar Nanne Buurman I See documenta: Curating the History of the Present, ed. by Nanne Buurman and Dorothee Richter, special traces the discursive tropes of nationalist art history in narratives on issue, OnCurating, no. 13 (June 2017). German pre- and postwar modernism. In Buurman’s “Ghost (Hi)Story of Abstraction” we encounter specters from the past who swept their connections to Nazism under the rug after 1945, but could not get rid of them. She shows how they haunt art history, theory, the German feuilleton, and even the critical German postwar literature. The editor of documenta studies, which we founded together with Carina Herring and Ina Wudtke in 2018, follows these ghosts from the history of German art and probes historical continuities across the decades flanking World War II, which she brings to the fore even where they still remain implicit. Buurman, who also coedited the volume documenta: Curating the History of the Present (2017),I thus uses her own contribution to documenta studies to call attention to the ongoing relevance of these historical issues for our contemporary practices. Let’s consider the Nazi exhibition of so-called Degenerate Art, presented in various German cities between 1937 and 1941, which is often regarded as documenta’s negative foil. To briefly recall the facts: The exhibition brought together more than 650 works by important artists of its time, with the sole aim of stigmatizing them and placing them in the context of the Nazis’ antisemitic racial ideology.

These close-ups of sheets of curling, curving photographic paper with shimmering and gleaming polychrome surfaces are unframed, held in position by the foldback clips that Tillmans uses to present his works on paper. With the three-dimensionality of the images and the three-dimensionality of the physical objects, the paper-drop pictures perform a dance of gravity, materials, reflections and shadows. They show what they are, even if not completely. For the difference between the materiality of the photographic paper ‘in’ the pictures and the archival sheets exhibited here (207 × 138 centi- metres) that have absorbed the ink-jet prints, prevents any over-hasty identification.

  • I WANT to SEE HOW YOU SEE JULIA STOSCHEK COLLECTION April 16 – July 25, 2010 (Deichtorhallen Hamburg)
    I WANT TO SEE HOW YOU SEE JULIA STOSCHEK COLLECTION April 16 – July 25, 2010 (Deichtorhallen Hamburg) The exhibition at the Hamburg’ Deichtorhallen will be the first extensive presentation of the JULIA STOSCHEK COLLECTION shown in the context of a museum worldwide. The exhibition, which will commence April 16, 2010, will feature 65 works by 54 artists from this very young private collection in a space extending of over 3,000 square meters. The main focus of the presentation will be on film and video works produced in the last 40 years, a time range which applies to the entire Julia Stoschek Collection. Classics of video art, such as Marina Abramović’s Art must be beautiful/ Artist must be beautiful dating from 1975-76, Vito Acconci’s Openings (1970) and Chris Burden’s Shoot (1971 are conjoined with more recent works of younger artists, giving viewers the opportunity to relate to the history of the still rather young genre of video art. The majority of the works were actually produced after 2000. They range from lyrical pieces such as Heike Baranowsky’s Mondfahrt and complex animation films such as Björk’s Wanderlust in 3D up to elaborate spatial installations by artists such as Monica Bonvicini, Anthony McCall, and Nathalie Djurberg. The video works are accompanied by sculptures (e.g., by Nandipha Mntambo), photographic works (e.g., by Thomas Demand, Taryn Simon, Thomas Ruff) and installations (e.g., by Jeppe Hein). The title of the exhibition I Want To See How You See was derived from the work in the show by Pipilotti Rist (2003) of the same name.
