Was wäre die Kunst ohne Sammler? Im Dialog mit ihren Sammlungen prägen Sammler unseren Kunst-Geschmack. Auch die Museen leben von den Aktivitäten großer Sammler. Dieser Band erzählt erstmals umfassend und vielschichtig vom Verhältnis der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin zu ihren Sammlern. Die jeweiligen Museumsdirektoren stellen ihre großen Sammlungen und Sammler in Wort und Bild vor. Dabei begegnen wir nicht nur bedeutenden Sammlungen, sondern eben auch großen Charakteren und prägenden Mäzenen, wir erfahren viel über die Entstehung nicht nur von Sammlungen, sondern auch von Museen, über Verantwortung und Leidenschaft – und allgemein über die große Kunst des Sammelns. • Geschichten zu den großen Museumsgründern von Bode bis Berggruen • Bausteine einer Kulturgeschichte des Sammelns – und ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Kulturpolitik • unentbehrlich für das Verständnis der Geschichte der Berliner Museen

Globetrotting filmmaker Wim Wenders always takes his old panorama camera with him, using it whenever the sheer wealth of what he sees and the impression it leaves on him breaks the normal scale of things. Infinite landscapes, endless horizons, deserts, and mountain ranges overwhelm by their emptiness and silence, street fronts in Havana, Houston, Berlin, or Jerusalem offer deep insights into the shallows of civilization. Wenders' photographs are pictures of a world almost devoid of humans, a natural or man-made world viewed from a distance. They shed light on the many guises the surface of the earth dons and attest to Wenders' contemplative and amazed gaze. This gaze, of course, didn't stop at September 11 and delivered haunting photos of Ground Zero taken shortly after the attack. With poetic comments by the artist on all the pictures, the book is both a portrait of the world as encountered by the photographer and a portrait of the photographer as reflected in his vision of the world.
