This exhibition catalogue focuses on the transfer of 202 paintings from the Berlin State Museums-including many of the greatest 15th to 18th-century works in the Gemäldegalerie-to the United States in the aftermath of World War II. In November 1945, the U.S. military government in Germany ordered that "at least 200 German works of art of greatest importance" be sent to Washington for safekeeping. After two years in storage, they were exhibited at the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., and in thirteen other cities across the country in 1948-49, before returning to Germany. The essays in the catalogue explore the controversy that surrounded this transfer of patrimony, as well as the reception of the paintings themselves in the United States. At the heart of the book is Walter I. Farmer, who served in the US Army as a Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives officer-a 'Monuments Man'-and as Director of the Wiesbaden Central Collecting Point (1945-46), which housed thousands of artworks recovered at the end of the war. Farmer is responsible for the Wiesbaden Manifesto, which protested the shipment of paintings to the United States and was signed by two-thirds of the Monuments officers active in Europe. Following the war, he was a resident of Cincinnati and stalwart supporter of the arts in the region for almost fifty years

Vögel und Insekten können seit jeher fliegen, Hexen und Dämonen wird diese Fähigkeit zugetraut. Aber der Mensch? Seine Gedankenflüge starten auf dem Papier, bevor sie Realität werden können. Wie sich die bildlichen Vorstellungen vom Fliegen im Allgemeinen und vom „Homo Volans“, dem fliegenden Menschen im Besonderen, im Lauf der Jahrhunderte verändert haben, zeigt dieser Band des Berliner Kupferstichkabinetts mit Werken aus dem eigenen Bestand: Zeichnungen, Druckgrafiken und Buchkunst vom Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart von rund 60 Künstler*innen, darunter Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt, Francisco de Goya, Eugène Delacroix, Max Klinger, Käthe Kollwitz, Robert Rauschenberg, Eberhard Havekost und Jorinde Voigt.
