摘要

This study explores the display history of the Betende Knabe, a Greek bronze statue currently in Berlin, exploring the interplay between this enigmatic figure and its ever-changing role within the spaces it has inhabited. The article analyses how the object’s presentation has evolved throughout its travels, from private collections to prestigious museums, bearing silent witness to seismic shifts in European history. By considering the Betende Knabe as a site of artistic expression and a platform for political commentary, the article offers a richer understanding of the relationships between art, display, and power structures within museum and gallery walls.
