Aby Warburg: Bilderatlas Mnemosyne – The Original

In the 1920s, Aby Warburg created his Bilderatlas Mnemosyne which in the modern art and visual studies has taken on mythical status. The volume gathers the 63 plates – newly photographed from the original images, along with essays by Roberto Ohrt, Axel Heil, Bernd Scherer, Bill Sherman and Claudia Wedepohl. The HKW exhibition on Warburg’s Bilderatlas has been postponed to fall 2020.
