...Security Council on Friday. Both Washington and London remained upbeat about the resolution's chances of success, despite early opposition from France and Germany, which staunchly opposed the war on Iraq.

That's a demanding standard, since the gallery, Mies van der Rohe's glass pavilion, is a monument to Western Modernism, standing guard across from Potsdamer Platz. At the time of its construction, it stood near the Wall. Another irony is that both März and Blume worked as curators in the National Gallery in East Germany...
