"Seit Beginn der Ausgrabungen in Pergamon im späten 19. Jahrhundert wurden mehr als 5000 Fragmente hellenistischer Reliefbecher ans Tageslicht befördert. Ihre Herstellung in einem der bedeutendsten Kunstzentren dieser Zeit äussert sich eindrucksvoll in der Qualität und Vielfalt ihrer Dekoration und einem reichen Motivspektrum, die im Mittelpunkt dieses Werkes stehen. Mehr als 1000 ausgewählte Fundstücke aus sakralen, öffentlichen und profanen Kontexten, darunter zahlreiche Formschüsseln, veranschaulichen das Repertoire der zahllosen figürlichen, pflanzlichen und ornamentalen Motive des Reliefschmucks und seine dekorativen Schemata: Götter-, Menschen und Tierdarstellungen in umlaufenden Friesen, verschiedenartige Blatt- und Blütenmotive in üppigen Blattkelchen, Rankenfriese und ornamentale Bordüren in den Randzonen sowie über die gesamte Gefässwand ausgebreitete Muster aus Blattschuppen, Blattzungen und Kreissegmentbögen. Jedes einzelne Motiv wird ausführlich besprochen und hinsichtlich seiner Kombinationen mit Begleitmotiven analysiert, wodurch sich ein dichtes Netz der zu den lokalen Werkstätten gehörigen Stempel knüpfen lässt. Ebenso von Interesse sind die Beziehungen verschiedener Motive zu Werken anderer Kunstgattungen wie der Architektur- und Grossplastik und ihre Verankerung in der pergamenischen Lebenswelt. Ergänzende Kapitel widmen sich den Beziehungen der Becher zu anderen Gattungen verzierter Keramik und beleuchten das Verhältnis der pergamenischen Produktion zu derjenigen anderer Zentren. Eine Vorstellung von mehr als 100 in Pergamon gefundener Becher fremder Produktion, u. a. aus Athen, Ephesos und dem pontischen Gebiet, rundet den Band ab"--Page 4 of cover.

"In the sunny, austere central hall of the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, wrapping around the room's walls like a serpent, then rising halfway to the ceiling on marble steps, stands a strident, if also fragmentary statement of empire. It is an unfinished wedding cake of a building. Tourists recline languidly on its ascent, like guests with nowhere to sit. The room is just too small; it is overtaken by the object on display ̣- The Great Altar of Pergamon. The Altar, with its two sculptural friezes, the outer, depicting the Battle of Gods and Giants, the inner, the tale of Telephos, son of Herakles and heroic ancestor of the Attalid dynasty, was discovered in 1871, the year in which the Second German Empire was born. The engineer Karl Humann stumbled upon the marble fragments while building infrastructure for Ottoman Turkey, making the Altar as we know it a pure product of German, French and British competition for influence in the Middle East. Today, Turkey has regained confidence, and officials from the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation expect Ankara to ask for it back"--
