Ausstellung Symbolbild
The names of Rosy Fischer, Max Osborn, Elsa Glaser, Hans and Walther Heymann, Rosa Schapire, Hugo Simon and Victor Wallerstein have been almost completely forgotten today. The exhibition aims to commemorate them and pay tribute to their contribution to modern art.
Their biographies, work and networks are brought to life in the exhibition through the collectors’ former works of art, historical documents and photos as well as interviews with experts and descendants.
A new mural by artist Sophie von Hellermann provides a contemporary approach. Co-curator Ruth Ur invites you to take a tour of the exhibition and provides insights into her curatorial approach.
Ruth Ur is the founder of urKultur GmbH and has been initiating and leading exemplary cultural projects internationally for more than twenty-five years. From 1998 until 2017, she held leading positions with the British Council in Great Britain, Germany, Israel, Turkey and India.
Ur has curated numerous site-specific installations, exhibitions, and campaigns and is often invited to hold presentations and lectures about her work.
She lives in Berlin, and in addition to the urKultur GmbH, she also directs the Freundeskreis Yad Vashem e.V.
