Osthaus Museum Hagen. Berliner Skulpturenfund. Otto Baum (1900-1977): "Stehendes Mädchen", Bronze, 1930

            These sculptures were labeled as "degenerate art" by the Nazi regime. Consequently the officials confiscated the works; later they were damaged and dumped. For several decades they were believed to be lost forever. But the 14 works reappeared almost miraculously in 2010 when a new subway station was built right in front of Berlin's historic town hall: When the excavation work started it soon turned out that there was something precious being buried in the sands. Art experts and archaeologists analyzed the fragments and identified the sculptures. Now they are saved and acessible to the public again. I saw (and photographed) them in Hagen. I was very touched by the traces of barbarism and destruction they exhibit.
