Summary:
À une époque où les mots « censure » et « déboulonnage » sont régulièrement prononcés et alors que se multiplient les débats autour de la cancel culture, du wokisme et de l'appropriation culturelle, la question de l'atteinte portée aux œuvres d'art dans l'espace public apparaît comme centrale. Cette actualité, aussi brûlante soit-elle, s'inscrit en réalité dans une histoire longue et complexe que l'on peut faire débuter à l'ère des expériences iconoclastes de la Révolution française. Une histoire qui se poursuit au cours des deux siècles suivants avec des querelles d'ordre esthétique, moral et politique, l'art public cristallisant autour de lui des affrontements venus d'en haut comme d'en bas. Ce livre est le premier à proposer une vue d'ensemble des controverses nées autour d'œuvres prenant place non pas dans les lieux sacrés et confinés de l'art, mais dans un espace censé être accessible à tout un chacun. « Art public et controverses » constitue ainsi un complément essentiel à l'étude de l'art public et une contribution originale aux interrogations très actuelles sur la censure.

Summary:
The walls of the Reichstag are covered with graffiti, written by victorious Soviet soldiers in 1945. Hidden for 30 years, the Reichstag graffiti were rediscovered by Norman Foster and his team when they began work on the building in 1995. They were preserved as part of Foster’s concept of the Reichstag as a ‘living museum’ of German history. Published at a time when the graffiti are threatened with eradication, this book offers an important visual and literary record. Deborah Lipstadt considers the arguments for and against the preservation of the graffiti: is the preservation, as some charge, "morally offensive" and "masochistic" or does it indicate a brave determination not to forget the tragedies of the past? And what does it mean and say about Germany today? Frederick Baker considers the graffiti as a monument to the individual and offers an historical account of the Battle of Berlin through the eyes of Red Army soldiers as they approached their ultimate goal, including the soldier who first raised the Red Flag above the Reichstag. This illustrated volume allows the inscriptions to be made accessible and understandable to a wider public for the first time.
