Published by the author in 1985 to document the Brohan collection of decorative art objects, paintings, sculptures and industrial design from the 1920s and 1930s, all of which is now held in the Bröhan-Museum in Berlin Germany. Bröhan-Museum, Berlin’s museum for Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Functionalism, is named after its founder, Karl H. Bröhan (July 6, 1921–Jan. 2, 2000). A passionate collector and great connoisseur of Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and the art of the Berlin Secession, Karl H. Bröhan opened a private museum in a Dahlem residence in 1973. On his 60th birthday, Bröhan donated his collection to the city of Berlin. In 1983, Bröhan-Museum opened at its current location, which belongs to the ensemble of Charlottenburg Castle and was originally erected for castle guards. Bröhan-Museum has been an official city museum since 1994.
