Contemporary Art at the Humboldt Forum (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783422990319)

A Japanese teahouse, an audio
installation with Nigerian sounds, and a bronze flagpole divided in two:
In the extensive areas of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin, it is possible
to discover numerous, in part large-scale works of contemporary art.
Artworks by artists from various societies of origin enrich the
collections in the exhibitions of the Ethnological Museum and the Museum
of Asian Art. In addition, seven works of art-in-architecture that deal
with the history of the location or with the Humboldt Forum as a "place
for the world's cultures," encounters, and exchange, or are dedicated
to Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt, for whom the institution is
named, have been realized in the Humboldt Forum. This book presents the
artworks in informative texts that are rich in associations as well as
in impressive photographs.

• Insights into the entire Humboldt Forum for the first time on the occasion of the full opening in the fall of 2022
• Contemporary art by artists from Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe behind baroque fa軋des
