Description: München: Deutscher Kunstverlag, 2015. 24cm., pbk., ca. 184pp., 15 color, 235 b&w illus. German text. Summary: At end of the war in 1945, the majority of works from many European countries that had fallen prey to Nazi art theft were kept in repositories in the American occupied zone. Safeguarding and repatriation of these works of art, including objects evacuated from German museums, lay in the hands of the “Monuments, Fine Arts & Archives Section” of the American military. This richly illustrated book deals with the history of the Central Collecting Point, the largest American collection center, established in the former NSDAP buildings on Königsplatz in Munich. The history of the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte that emerged from the Collecting Point and the exhibition policy of the Amerika-Haus are examined in the context of “reeducation” and the rebirth of Munich’s (and West Germany’s) art and cultural scene after 1945.
