In the early planning for the work of the Buchhau ses Andree, besides the reconstruction of the gallery Andrée, which is to be counted among the oldest German galleries in this room, the establishment of a department of arts and crafts was planned. We have prepared in the new building at the Graben 5 corresponding rooms for storage and sale. We have been thinking about the arts and crafts sector, as the Grassi Museum in Leipzig shows today, as it is being sold by the Deutsche Werkstätten and the United Workshops and similar high-quality institutions. In order to carry out this, we have linked up with a number of artisanal enterprises in Germany and have also been actively supported by Professor Schneckenberg, who has unique sources at his disposal. Now the concession for the book trade in Bohemia and Moravia does not include arts and crafts, and we have therefore requested this concession separately. e retail business group is now concerned that existing trades in the arts could be harmed by the Andree art trade department. In Prague, however, there is by no means any company that operates what we want to carry out. High-quality art, as we understand it, Mfgshm St...\H-8d/42
