This weekend marks a historical moment for late artist Frank Auerbach as his first exhibition opens in Berlin, where he was born and left to escape the Nazis in 1939. The exhibition is hosted at Galerie Michael Werner and represents a critical recognition of Auerbach's influential legacy in the art world. Additionally, the article touches upon Dan Hicks' new book, "Every Monument Must Fall," which dives into serious conversations about colonialism and the ethical considerations regarding museum possessions, particularly human remains. It also highlights Ian Hamilton Finlay's work through a series of exhibitions celebrating his centenary this year.
