The Last Expression: Art and Auschwitz, an exhibition of some 200 works of art by holocaust victims, on view at the Brooklyn Museum of Art March 7-June 15, 2003.
|
|
The Brooklyn Museum of Art is the final venue for this traveling exhibition of more than 200 works by artists who either perished in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, or were among the few who survived. These works served many purposes, among them catharsis, documentation, resistance, decoration, official commission, and objects to be traded on the black market. It was organized by the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University. Support for the Brooklyn presentation is provided, in part, by Dime Savings Bank, the Keren Keshet Fund of the Jewish Communal Fund, and Frank and Katherine Martucci.
