| Lost Generation - BCM - Winter 2003 (3326 words) |
 | Feldberg, who managed his family’s business in men’s clothing in the Baltic port of Stettin (now Szczecin, in Poland), originally began his collection with the eccentric notion of trading coats and suits from the business to struggling artists in Berlin in exchange for their self-portraits. |
| Siegbert Feldberg, as a friend and patron of artists, was very close to this bohemian world, and yet, as his portrait suggests, and as his granddaughter confirms, he could not have been fully a part of it. |
| Feldberg’s collection is a hall of tilted mirrors, a gallery of distorted reflections, a chamber of unbalanced selves, from a historical moment of tremendous artistic energy and profound social crisis. |
