Ask anything

  • Allegra Martini asked

    Good afternoon,
    recently I had the chance to see this painting in the Milan exhibition and I was quite impressed by the quote on the right. I couldn’t read very well the incipit formed by the first sentence and I was wondering if you could give me more information about the text appearing in the painting (I’m asking because I speak and understand German).
    Thank you in advance and greetings from Tuscany,
    Kind regards
    Allegra Martini

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Dear Allegra, thank you for your question. Good to hear that you were at MUDEC, I hope you enjoyed the exhibition. The text on Curt Ehrhardt's painting says: "Geliebte. Der korallen Riffe weit verschwiegen sind. Deine Lippen sind die Riffe." Kind regards, Els

    Wo wurde das bild gemalt?

  • Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

    Hi, We can assume it was made in Berlin, since Erhardt lived there at the time. Best, Rianne
