2007-10-20 Art in the Asylum: orphans of the art world? Part 2 of 2 (The Prinzhorn Collection)

Germany?s extraordinary Prinzhorn collection of art was drawn from 19th and 20th century asylums. Psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn was on a quest to find a `more authentic? art, made by minds liberated from the constraints of rationality. Avant-garde artists turned to the works for inspiration, but the collection went on to be exploited by the Nazis in their horrifying campaign against `degenerate? art, and those with mental illness. Prinzhorn curator Thomas Roeske joins Natasha Mitchell to discuss the difficult history of art, ethics and asylum.
