The Weimar Era. Arts of the Weimar Republic
About the exhibition
On the occasion of our 50th anniversary, we cordially invite you to join us in looking back on half a century of vibrant gallery history—and at the same time immerse yourself in one of the most exciting and visionary eras in art. The anniversary exhibition is dedicated to the extraordinary diversity and expressiveness of the Weimar period—an era marked by social upheaval, political change, and unprecedented artistic freedom.
Between avant-garde, expressionism, New Objectivity, and socially critical realism, a canon of works of international renown unfolded during these years, whose impulses continue to resonate in the art world today. The Weimar Republic was a laboratory of new ideas—a place where artists responded to the challenges and hopes of their time with unwavering courage and radical originality.
In our exhibition, we present important works from this era by outstanding personalities whose creations broke down the boundaries between tradition and modernity and opened up new forms of expression. Each work not only tells the story of the time in which it was created, but also reveals timeless questions about identity, freedom, and social responsibility.
This anniversary exhibition is more than just an art-historical retrospective—it is a living statement of our self-image as a place of encounter, reflection, and promotion of artistic excellence. Be inspired by the creative energy of the Weimar years and join us in celebrating art that unites past and present in a fascinating dialogue.
