Summary:Out of the shadows? Discovering Mary Warburg Review of: Hedinger, Bärbel; Diers, Michael (Eds.): Mary Warburg. Porträt einer Künstlerin. Leben, Werk, München: Hirmer Verlag 2020 ISBN-13: 978-3-7774-3614-2, 535 S., EUR 68.00Mary Warburg, née Hertz: only a few scholars will be familiar with the name of this sculptor and illustrator.1 Even the most renowned specialists for German art in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century have probably never seen a work by Warburg. Her work is not represented in any public collection, with the exception of a few works in the Kunsthalle Hamburg. Warburg's oeuvre remained almost entirely in the possession of her family. And yet, Warburg is the subject of a comprehensive and lavishly produced catalogue raisonné, edited by art historians Michael Diers and Bärbel Hedinger.
