Professor Hoerl of the Nuremberg Academy of Fine Art is installing 1,250 garden gnomes with their arms outstretched in the stiff-armed Hitler salute in an exhibition that addresses the lingering fascist tendencies in German society.
The exhibition explores the various dimensions of the satiric voice from a visual and literary perspective. Selected works on display include political pamphlets, biblical texts, oriental manuscripts, satiric prints, first edition copies, illustrated children’s books and journals, ranging from the late fifteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries.
