Die Königin. Nofretetes globale Karriere

Book • 2024
In this book, Sebastian Conrad delves into the historical and cultural significance of Nefertiti, tracing her journey from ancient Egyptian queen to a global icon of beauty.

The book discusses the discovery of her bust in Tell el-Amarna, its exhibition in Berlin in 1924, and the subsequent global fascination with her image.

Conrad examines the dubious circumstances under which the bust was brought to Berlin during the colonial era and the ongoing disputes over its ownership.

The narrative spans multiple locations, including Berlin, Cairo, China, India, and Brazil, highlighting how Nefertiti's image has been appropriated in various cultural contexts, including by artists like Beyoncé and Rihanna.

The book also explores the broader themes of beauty standards in a globalizing world and the claims on modernity associated with Nefertiti's image.
