New publication: “Im Schlangenhain. Nella Serpentara”
The 150th anniversary of the Serpentara provided the occasion for a positioning. In 1873, artists saved the oak grove in Olevano Romano, Italy, from being cut down. Today, “Villa Serpentara” is a residence for Akademie scholars. In 15 contributions, Serpentara artists, contemporary witnesses and art historians explore the myth, visual motif and stories surrounding the famous oak grove and offer new approaches to its history.
This publication is published on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Serpentara, edited by Clara Herrmann and Anneka Metzger on behalf of the Akademie der Künste, Berlin.
