  • Notes

    • On the occasion of an exhibition held at Bode Museum, Berlin, March - September 2015.
    • In the days just after the end of the war, two fires in the Friedrichshain flak bunker destroyed countless works of art that had been stored there for safekeeping. The Gemäldegalerie lost over 430 paintings, the Skulpturensammlung a third of its holdings. Among the sculptures that did return, many were severely damaged.
