Ghosts and Spirits from the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art tells the life story of Felix Tikotin (1893–1986), one of the twentieth century’s most important European art collectors. Tikotin built successful galleries in Dresden and Berlin before World War II, and during the conflict he went into hiding but managed to survive and keep his collection intact. He donated his huge collection of Japanese Art to the city of Haifa in 1960 and founded the Tikotin Museum of Japanese Art there. This catalog contains more than one hundred works of art featuring Japanese ghosts and spirits, including paintings, prints, and miniature carvings called netsuke.
