Description
'1000 Masterpieces from the Great Museums of the World' is one of the most successful TV series about art. The original, with improved image quality, takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of art. Comprehensively illustrated and compellingly presented -- the well-known authors of five short art surveys provide a deeper insight into the masterpieces of painting.

Today, it accommodates one of the globally most significant modern and contemporary art collections. In addition to one of the most popular paintings of Malevich, the DVD presents other exceptional works that are on exhibit there, for instance some by art legend Yves Klein or CoBrA initiator Asger Jorn. Yves Klein: BLUE HARMONY (1960) Willem de Kooning: MORNING.THE SPRINGS (1983) Kazimir Malevich: AN ENGLISHMAN IN MOSCOW (1913-14) Asger Jorn: IN THE WING-BEAT OF THE SWANS (1963) Anselm Kiefer: INTERIOR (1981).
