The Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg displays masterpieces<br />
by the Surrealists and their predecessors,<br />
covering a spectrum from Piranesi, Goya and<br />
Redon to Dalí, Magritte, Max Ernst and Dubuffet.<br />
special exhibition<br />
Brassaï Brassaï. Im Atelier und auf <strong>der</strong> Straße<br />
The Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg and the Museum<br />
Berggruen (directly opposite) host an unusual<br />
double exhibition from the Nationalgalerie with<br />
works by the Hungarian photographer Brassaï<br />
(1899–1984). Alongside his fellow countrymen<br />
André Kertész and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï<br />
was one of the three greats of the 1930s French<br />
photography scene.<br />
The Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg’s focus on<br />
Surrealism casts a look at the dark and unworldly<br />
»other side« (Kubin); here Brassaï »Graffiti« pho-<br />
tographs are displayed – pictures given life by the<br />
anonymous scratched images on walls and buildings.<br />
Like prehistoric cave paintings they appear<br />
as messengers of far-off worlds, which at the same<br />
time touch the deepest layers of our own lives.<br />
