Fatoş İrwen at the exhibition Böse Blumen (Evil Flowers) at Staatliche Museen zu Berlin
From December 12, 2024, to May 4, 2025, Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg (Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection) will present Böse Blumen (Evil Flowers), a selection from the Scharf-Gerstenberg collection. The exhibition, inspired by Charles Baudelaire's "Les Fleurs du Mal" (The Flowers of Evil), is curated by Kyllikki Zacharias, the director of Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg.
The exhibition takes the visitor on a journey through the art of the early modernist period all the way to contemporary works that shed light on the various aspects of Baudelaire’s aesthetics as well as its after- and side effects. In addition to a small selection of works that were created as a direct response to his poems, the exhibition focuses on specific themes that are central to Les Fleurs du Mal.
