Krátky popis
A strikingly original exploration of the profound impact of World
War II on how we understand the art that survived it By the end of
World War II an estimated one million artworks and 2.5 million
books had been seized from their owners by Nazi forces, many were
destroyed. The artworks and cultural artifacts that survived have
traumatic, layered histories. This book traces the biographies of
these objects-including paintings, sculpture, and Judaica-their
rescue in the aftermath of the war, and their afterlives in museums
and private collections and in our cultural understanding.In
examining how this history affects the way we view these works,
scholars discuss the moral and aesthetic implications of
maintaining the association between the works and their place
within the brutality of the Holocaust-or, conversely, the
implications of ignoring this history. Afterlives offers a
thought-provoking investigation of the unique ability of art and
artifacts to bear witness to historical events. With rarely seen
archival photographs and with contributions by the contemporary
artists Maria Eichhorn, Hadar Gad, Dor Guez, and Lisa Oppenheim,
this catalogue illuminates the study of a difficult and
still-urgent subject, with many parallels to today's crises of art
in war.
