Guided tour in Russian of the exhibition “Year Zero” at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The exhibition presents artworks and stories of rescue from the World War II era.
On the eve of World War II, Dr. Karl Schwarz, the first director of the Tel Aviv Museum, set out on one last desperate journey to Europe in an effort to save a work of art he had seen in Berlin in his youth. He located the work in Amsterdam and persuaded its owner to send it to Tel Aviv. This work, together with thousands of others that Schwarz saved between 1933 and 1945, formed the foundation of the museum’s modern art collection. The exhibition, which includes works by Alexander Archipenko, Marc Chagall, and Käthe Kollwitz, tells these stories for the first time, marking eighty years since the end of World War II.
