Until the opening of the Humboldt Forum, some eighty masterpieces of African sculpture will set foot on Museum Island to engage European works of Art in dialogue. Experimental juxtapositions and groupings of works according to themes such as the “others”, aesthetics, gender, protection, performance, and death reveal the connections and differences among these works of art. Presenting these sculptures, with their different histories, together reveals new perspectives on both collections.
The book „The Lost Museum“ highlights the loss of the Berlin paintings and sculptures in a row of the 2nd World War. In the days to the end of the war two fires in the anti-aircraft bunker Friedrichshain destroyed numerous works of art that were there to protect outsourced, including masterpieces of the collections among others by Caravaggio and Rubens. Using photos with explanatory texts the lost masterpieces of the Berlin sculpture and painting collections are re-entered the public consciousness.
