      Otto Gerstenberg, a popular Berlin art collector of the early 20th century, was the initiator of this collection. It was severely damaged during the war, and some pieces were among the looted art that can still be found in Russian museums today. His grandson Dieter Scharf gathered what was left and started what is known as the Scharf-Gerstenberg collection. Dalí, Magritte, Max Ernst, etc.; the collection Scharf-Gerstenberg could be described as a continuation of the Berggruen museum. Some artists are represented in both places, such as Klee, Giacometti and Picasso. The focus lies on graphic works.
