Misled illustrates the role of the youth during the Nazi regime 1933-45 in photographs and interviews. The pictures cover a range of themes from daily life and school outings to military exercise and training. Most of the photographs are here published for the first time. They were recently found in American photo archives where they had been stored since the war.
The lingering fingerprints of a world thrown into war are still visible, and rightly so. World War II set the foundation for the second half of the 20th century. Borders changed. Politics shifted. Bombs fell like rain, and the world witnessed the birth of the atomic age. World War II left humanity suffering and broken. Misled focuses on the experience of war through images and stories of German youth during the time of the Third Reich.
Included are transcriptions of conversations Daniel Blau had with eye-witnesses. In order to show the complex relationships between photojournalism, propaganda and the function of text, Daniel Blau’s interviews have been left unedited, which not only amplifies their youthful tone but also helps to further reflect on the function of (photo-)journalism.
Misled is an active conversation, in which the past and present experience one another.

Verführt Deutsche Jugendliche 1933-1945
Verführt schlägt die Brücke zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Einerseits historisch, lädt das Buch uns andererseits doch ein, die Photographien zu betrachten, die Geschichten zu hören und an den Gesprächen teilzuhaben. Erfahren Sie den Krieg aus dem Blickwinkel der Kinder. Verführt konzentriert sich auf Erfahrungen des Krieges in Bildern und Geschichten deutscher Kinder während der Zeit des “Dritten Reiches”. Die Auswahl von 83 Photographien, in der Zeit von 1933 bis 1945 aufgenommen, erzählt die Geschichte von Kindern, die in jener Zeit lebten und kämpften. Alle Aufnahmen wurden 1933-1945 gemacht und abgezogen. Allein die hektografierten und handschriftlichen Angaben auf der Rückseite der Photos geben jeweils Hinweis auf die Zeit und die Umgebung der Aufnahmen.
Die Texte sind Erinnerungen von Zeitzeugen.
Verführt ist ein Dialog, in dem sich die Vergangenheit und Gegenwart begegnen.

Messe Basel
For every Art enthusiast Art Basel is undoubtedly the highlight of the year.
It is becoming more and more difficult for art dealers to find good artworks outside of the many public collections and to convince collectors, estates or artists to part with them.
We are therefore delighted to be able to present a cabinet exhibition around the theme of “Portrait”. True to our specialisaton in works on paper, an exquisite group of Warhol drawings from the 1950s will completement a selection of 1970-80s works by Baselitz, Immendorff and Penck …
Penck was interested in portraiture as early as the 1960s when his friends and family became his subjects. We will show his 1974 painting of Johannes Gachnang, former director of the famous Kunsthalle in Bern and later publisher of many art books and catalogues raisonnés. He was a close friend and early supporter of Penck, giving him his first international museum exhibition at Kunsthalle Bern in 1975. This painting has never before been exhibited in public. This painting has been kept in a private collection since the 70s.
The painting “Fahne” (1980) by Jörg Immendorff reflects a similarly intense and friendly connection with Gachnang, since also Immendorff had his first international exhibition in Bern.
Another of our highlights is the complete sketch-pad (book) of portrait drawings made by Warhol in 1955, presumably at the “Serendipity Café” where he would meet with friends for drawing sessions. Only very few sketch‑pads survived intact, as Andy and later his estate would give or sell individual sheets from these pads. Here, in the “House of Hearts” we meet his friends face‑to‑face or even “au naturel” in Andy’s fresh and fluid ink drawings.
