Gerhard Richter, 100 works for Berlin

In March 2021, Berlin pulled off an incredible coup: Gerhard Richter, arguably Germany's most significant living painter, bestowed the National Gallery with 100 of his art pieces as enduring loans. Until the Museum of the 20th Century is ready to open its doors, these works have found a home in the newly renovated New National Gallery. One standout piece is "Birkenau", a late work that encapsulates Richter's extensive engagement with the Holocaust. This series of four large-scale, abstract paintings draws inspiration from haunting photographs taken at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. The exhibition also includes other pivotal works from Richter's distinguished career, such as "Occupied House" and "4,900 Colours".

Secession Movements: Klimt, Stuck, Liebermann

In the world of Western art, the term "Secession" - literally meaning "split" - signifies the audacious leap into modernity that marked the turn of the 20th century. This movement sought to break free from the shackles of conventional art academies, aiming to explore new, individual modes of expression such as Symbolism, Art Nouveau, and Impressionism. The Alte Nationalgalerie on Museum Island is currently staging a special exhibition featuring 200 pieces - paintings, sculptures, and graphics - that draw parallels between the evolution of the secession movements in three art epicenters: Munich, Vienna, and Berlin. Visitors can expect to see works from the luminaries of this revolutionary era, including Gustav Klimt, Franz von Stuck, and Max Liebermann, as well as pieces from their contemporaries, such as Edvard Munch and Käthe Kollwitz.

Roads not Taken: An exploration of what might have been

Have you ever wondered "What if...?" This is the central question driving an engaging exhibition at the German Historical Museum, on until the 24th of November. Through a wealth of objects, films, and documents, it paints a vivid picture of how key moments in German history could have played out differently. Events like the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Berlin Airlift, and the outbreak of the First World War are juxtaposed with alternate outcomes that, for various reasons, never transpired. The aim? To hone our understanding of history as a tapestry woven from chance, decisions, actions and missed opportunities, thereby deepening our comprehension of the true course of events.

ART-Summer of Culture: The Art of Society, 1900 – 1945: The Nationalgalerie Collection

Germany's history from 1900 to 1945 was undeniably marked by tumultuous change, from the Kaiserreich, the First World War, and the "Golden" Twenties, to the rise of National Socialism and yet another World War. Until the 2nd of July, the Neue Nationalgalerie showcases how artists of the time interpreted and encapsulated these events in their works. Embark on a fascinating journey through the diverse currents of Classical Modernism, from Otto Dix's strikingly grotesque portraits and Max Ernst's surreal sculptures, to the sombre tones of Horst Strempel's paintings.

250th Anniversary: Caspar David Friedrich in Berlin

Step into the sublime with ‘Caspar David Friedrich: Infinite Landscapes’. This summer, the oeuvre of the preeminent figure of German Romanticism will be on display on Berlin's Museum Island. Through a collection of around sixty Friedrich paintings and fifty drawings, this exhibition celebrates the artist’s mastery of light and shadow, the immensity of nature, and the quiet power of the human spirit.

Re-generation: climate change in the green world heritage site and what we can do

Sanssouci, Potsdam’s UNESCO World Heritage Park, is under threat from climate change, with almost 80% of its trees felled every year after suffering extreme heat and prolonged drought. This open-air exhibition by the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin-Brandenburg (SPSG) shares its research and looks forward to what can be done.
