FRITZ Ascher Society for Persecuted Ostracized and Banned A

The FRITZ Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art in New York (FAS) researches, discusses, publishes and exhibits artists whose life and work were affected by the German Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. With our work we commemorate their artistic achievements, introduce work that may have been forgotten to a broad audience, and initiate an active dialogue about individuality and artistic integrity in response to conditions of extreme duress and to political tyranny. We facilitate this dialogue with innovative virtual programs for our global audience, and with exhibitions, book publications and public programs for our audiences in the US and Germany. Collaborations with internationally renowned scholars, institutions and organizations ensure the high academic standard of our projects.
