The untitled photograph depicts the living room of the Goldberg
family's vacation home, which was built in 1961 not far from the
Uruguayan capital Montevideo in Pinamar. The interior design of the
room corresponds to the purist design vocabulary of the 1960s. The
pictured room opens to the pine forests surrounding the house through
large windows. The interior is structured by a multi-piece seating
group, which is arranged around an open fireplace. The photograph is
part of an undated, six-part photography series of the cottage,
consisting of various exterior views and another detailed photograph
of the interior (the photographer is unknown). The vacation home had
been designed by Otto Goldberg, who had fled from Austria to South
America, for his family in Uruguay. Veronica Rüter (née Goldberg),
daughter of Otto Goldberg, gave the Institute for the History of
German Jews (IGdJ) an extensive collection of family documents for
scholarly research, which includes this series of photographs. The
photo not only refers to the interior architecture and room design of
the vacation home, but concurrently provides insights into the
Goldbergs' family history and their escape from Nazi Germany.
