{"product_id":"9783039423163","title":"A Future for the Past : The Buhrle Collection: Art, Context, War and Conflict - Kunsthaus Zurich","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince 2021, the B�hrle Collection has been on display at Kunsthaus Z�rich, in the galleries of the museum's new extension building designed by David Chipperfield. The high-profile collection is widely perceived as problematic. This is due to the personality of the collector, Emil Georg B�hrle (1890-1956), who made his fortune as a weapons manufacturer and did extensive business with Nazi Germany, and the fact that the provenance of some of the artworks is controversial. The initial presentation at Kunsthaus Z�rich sparked a heated debate. The second display, opened in 2023, provided more historical context and a broader insight into provenance research. It also included a range of public voices and gave a face to some of the Jewish former owners of artworks, many of whom were forced to sell.   A Future for the Past documents in words and images the B�hrle Collection's history. At the core are the two recent exhibitions at Kunsthaus Z�rich, in regard to culture policy arguably the most significant and most debated art shows in Switzerland in decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kunsthaus Zurich","offers":[{"title":"140 pages, 22 Illustrations, black and white; 38 Illustrations, color \/ 13\/04\/2026 \/ Exhibition catalogues \u0026 specific collections","offer_id":56971409424759,"sku":"9783039423163","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9783039423163.jpg?v=1775172844","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9783039423163","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
