Jan thorn prikker "the day". Five mosaics at the south art museum and north business museum, düsseldorf. The two open corner temples at the south art museum and north business museum, which mark the entrance from the rhine side to inselstrasse, are each decorated with a mosaic by the dutchman jan thorn prikker, a teacher at the düsseldorf art academy in the 1920s. Two further corner temples, opposite the others, with mosaics by heinrich nauen are located at the west and east tonhalle, and one at the nrw forum south. As the works had been classified as degenerate by the national socialists, the building department had covered the large-scale works with a rabitz plaster wall a few centimeters away, which meant that they survived the critical period.
