‘Zeitgenössische Kunst gegen das Vergessen’ [Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> against<br />
Forgetting] at the Jewish Museum Berlin [author’s note: at the time still a<br />
department <strong>of</strong> the Berlin Museum]. <strong>The</strong>re your achievement, your outcry,<br />
your rebellion as painting would have extraordinary meaning!” 02<br />
This recommendation did not come to fruition, but, in 2009, the Jewish<br />
Museum Berlin did acquire one small work by Boris Lurie, which was inventoried<br />
under the title “Entebee, acrylic on canvas, 1977, New York,” with the<br />
number 2009/187/0. And now the works <strong>of</strong> Boris Lurie are coming to the<br />
Jewish Museum Berlin for several months.<br />
We thank the Boris Lurie <strong>Art</strong> Foundation, and in particular Gertrude Stein<br />
and Anthony Williams, Igor Satanovsky, Jessica Wallen, and Chris Shultz, for<br />
their commitment and the generous financial and organizational support<br />
for the exhibition, and Wolfgang Leidhold for the idea and mediation in order<br />
to show a retrospective with works by Boris Lurie at the Jewish Museum<br />
Berlin.<br />
