The Cambridge Society invites members of the Carl Kruse Arts Blog to a private tour of the iconoclastic Boros Bunker art collection in Berlin. The event also is co-sponsored by the Ivy Circle in Berlin (of which Carl Kruse is the director).
- Date & Time: Tuesday, 19/11/24, 5:00-6:30 pm
- Place: Boros Foundation, Reinhardtstraße 20, 10117 Berlin
- URL: boros-foundation.de
- Cost: 35€
Spread over 3,000 sq m of a converted air-raid bunker, this is the fourth exhibition featuring works from the private collection of Karen and Christian Boros, showcasing international artists from 1990 to the present. The couple purchased the bunker, originally designed by Albert Speer to both house their contemporary art and to make it accessible to the public. The redesign of the bunker was awarded the Beton Architectural Prize in 2008.
During the 1.5-hr tour in English, an art mediator from the Boros team will tell us about the exhibited works, the history of the building, and its architectural background. Christian Boros has often said he only buys art that he does not understand, so the tour will be interesting to say the least.
The event is to be followed by an optional dinner at a nearby restaurant.
For any questions please reach out to me as soon as possible to info@carlkruse.net.
Cheers!
Carl Kruse
