"Degenerate Art" in a bombed debris.

[SergeiSK]

In Berlin's Neues Museum, which specializes in a show of ancient Egyptian antiquities and the remains of some other bygone millennia of cultures, an exhibition of himself that neither is modern art - the "Berlin Sculpture Foundation." Degenerate Art "in a bombed debris. In this context, the 1911 nor the innocent sculptures created between the First and Second World Wars, not so much to tell about themselves, how much history is not ancient, but as it is hoped, be as irretrievably lost civilization.
These sculptures are literally been pulled out of the garbage - they discovered in 2010 archaeologists during excavations at the site of the future construction of a regular metro station in Berlin. Dig carefully, but not particularly passionate: at the designated spot lie the remains of one of the hundreds of bombed houses allies. In addition, future station should have been placed on Königstrasse, directly opposite the town hall the German capital - it seemed to serve as a guarantee that this "golden" land is no longer time to search through.
Eight of the sculptures were discovered quickly identified - primarily bronze "Dancer of the marge Mall (1884-1977)," Pregnant Woman "terracotta bust Amy Roeder (1890-1971), a portrait of actress Annie Meves, made by Edwin Sharffom (1887-1955 ) in 1923, "Head", a fragment of sculpture, created in 1925 by Otto Freundlich, born in 1878-m and killed at Majdanek in 1943. The rest are waiting in the wings. However, it is obvious that they all belong to the modernist direction, which was supposed to go down in history under the name of software and prosecution of a traveling exhibition in 1937 - "Degenerate Art". She rolled in 12 largest cities of the Third Reich, and collected about 3 million visitors. Some of the papers found among the 650 exhibited works of the exhibition.
How did they get into the house on Königstrasse remains a mystery. Work from the exhibition "Degenerate Art", which were not sold and were not included in private collections bosses of the National Socialist Party, kept in the depository of the Ministry of Propaganda for Morenshtrasse. But this is almost a kilometer away from the place of a sensational discovery. The house is located on Königstrasse dozens of rented offices. Researchers believe an important hook that one of these offices served Overdik Ernst, whose name is on the list of Jerusalem's Holocaust museum as one of those who saved Jews during the Hitler regime. Saved if he was still persecuted and art, is unknown. How is not clear and the future fate of these strange archaeological finds: the New Museum will be on display until further notice. That is, until until it will be found the names of the owners and their heirs.
