Kosmos Ost
The presentation covers post-war painting and sculptures, 鈥榮ocialist contemporary art鈥� from the 1960s and 70s, and works by a younger generation of artists. A wide spectrum of themes, styles and positions can be discovered 鈥� from worker portraits to pop-art experiments, from objective to expressive, figurative to abstract, conformist to critical.
The variety and frequent ambiguity of the image worlds of East German art is still unfamiliar in the old Federal Republic even thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. With works by 52 artists, this exhibition would like to broaden our outlook towards the Kosmos Ost.
