Museum Scharf-Gerstenberg

This collection of works by the Surrealists and their precursors, features artists from Goya; Klinger and Redon, to Dali; Magritte and Ernst. The display opened under the title 'Surreal Worlds' and along with the Berggruen Museum (Picasso and his Times), forms a new centre for classical modern art in the capital, Berlin. The Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection exhibits the holdings of the Dieter Scharf Collection, a foundation created in memory of Otto Gerstenberg, the original patron of this collection. Otto's grandson, Dieter Scharf, announced the conversion of a major part of his collection into this foundation in order to pay homage to the original work his grandfather had undertaken.
