Gertrud Bing erede di Warburg

In recent times, a trend of rediscovery and enhancement of Gertrud Bing is under way, to which Engramma contributes with this issue dedicated to her. After the recent monographs by Philippe Despoix and Martin Treml (Paris 2019), and by Laura Tack (Leuwen 2020), with this issue we are providing new pieces to the reconstruction of the intellectual and human personality of Gertrud Bing. In the issue we publish: a Bibliography of works and critical literature (with a biographical note) by Monica Centanni and Elisa Del Prete, which is accompanied by the updating of the general Bibliography. Works by Aby Warburg and secondary Literature, edited by Lucrezia Not; Notes on the Warburg Library, a paper by Bing in 1934 following the transfer of the Library from Hamburg to London; Il Warburg Institute e gli studi umanistici (The Warburg Institute and the Humanities), a lecture given by Gertrud Bing at a conference held in Italy in 1956; a selection of the unpublished letters Gertrud Bing-Eugenio Garin (1949-1963), edited by Vittoria Magnoler; In memoriam Gertrud Bing by Donald James Gordon, edited and translated by Chiara Velicogna, and the anastatic edition of the Booklet published in 1965 by the Warburg Institute as a tribute to Gertrud Bing; The Unforgettable Gertrud Bing a personal memory by Kurt W. Forster of his 1959 meeting with her at the Warburg Institute; an extract from the new monograph on Warburg by Kurt Forster himself, Il metodo di Aby Warburg. L’antico dei gesti, il futuro della memoria, published in 2018 in Germany and now translated into Italian by Giulia Bordignon and published by Edizioni Engramma. Finally, an excerpt of the first monograph dedicated to the other woman who shared her days with Aby Warburg, the artist Mary Hertz (1866-1934): Mary Warburg, geb. Hertz. Ein kurzes Porträt der vergessenen Künstlerin, by Bärbel Hedinger and Michael Diers (München 2020).
