On the eve of World War II, Dr. Karl Schwarz, the first director of the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, embarked on a final, desperate journey to Europe in an attempt to save an artwork he had seen as a boy in Berlin. He located the piece in Amsterdam and persuaded its owner to send it to Tel Aviv. This work, along with thousands of others saved by Schwarz between 1933 and 1945, formed the foundation of the museum’s modern art collection. The exhibition, featuring works by Alexander Archipenko, Marc Chagall, and Käthe Kollwitz, tells these stories for the first time, marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
