Copy and Mastery

Pergamonmuseum

Die Ausstellung „Kopie und Meisterschaft“ im Buchkunstkabinett des Pergamonmuseum ist der Kunst der Nachahmung gewidmet. Gezeigt wird eine Auswahl von Miniaturmalereien und Kalligraphien, die unter der Herrschaft der islamischen Moghulkaiser (1526–1858) in Indien entstanden sind.

Die Ausstellung illustriert das breite Spektrum des Kopierens, das von der Vervielfältigung berühmter Vorbilder bis zu ihrer gezielten Abwandlung reicht. Schwerpunktmäßig werden drei Themenfelder vorgestellt:

  • Kopieren als Bestandteil künstlerischer Ausbildung
  • Kopieren im Werkstattbetrieb
  • Kopieren als kreativer Dialog

Due to a technical issue, the lift is out of service until further notice, meaning the Museum für Islamische Kunst is not currently wheelchair accessible. The major architectural exhibits – such as the Processional Way, featuring the Ishtar Gate and the Market Gate of Miletus – are still accessible to people with mobility issues.

The exhibition Copy and Mastery in the Pergamonmuseum’s Buchkunstkabinett is devoted to the art of imitation. On display is a selection of miniature paintings and works of calligraphy which were created in India under the rule of the Islamic Moghul emperors (1526–1858).

The exhibition illustrates the broad spectrum of copying activities, from the reproduction of famous originals to their deliberate modification. Three themes are highlighted:

·  Copying as a component of an artist’s training

·  Copying as a workshop activity

·  Copying as creative dialogue
