Josef Hegenbarth, “Drei Personen
im Restaurant” (Three People in
a Restaurant), 1925, Kupferstich-
Kabinett
• Josef Hegenbarth’s Donation to the
Kupferstich-Kabinett
17th September – 31st December 2009
Josef-Hegenbarth-Archiv
When Josef Hegenbarth was awarded the
National Prize (Third Class) in 1954, he
used his prize money to purchase works
by his friends and donated them to the
Kupferstich-Kabinett and Gemäldegalerie.
This donation brought together works by
Dresden artists whose public activities
and exhibition opportunities were severely
limited owing to the restrictive cultural
policy during the period of the Formalism
Debate in the first half of the 1950s, because
their work did not correspond to
the principles of Socialist Realism.

Maximilianmuseum, Augsburg
For the first time in the history of the
museum, its most valuable objects were
shown for a few weeks outside Dresden.
The scientific instruments were returning
to their place of origin, since in the 16th
and 17th centuries Augsburg was Europe’s
centre for the manufacture of luxury goods:
at that time silver- and goldsmithery, clocks
and scientific instruments entered many

The Münzkabinett has a large library

literature dating from the 16th
to the 18th century. This exhibition presented
some of these bibliophile treasures
and documented the study of coins and
medals in the 18th century. The show was

in numerous competitions and exhibitions,
his many prizes and awards, and the presence
of his works in many museums and
collections bear testimony to his international
standing. The spectrum of his
themes ranges from historic and contemporary
personalities and events via architecture,
urban and rural landscapes, to
mythology, sport and the human nude.
• Verlorenes Geld. Inflation und Finanzkrise
gestern und heute (Lost Money. Inflation
and Financial Crisis Yesterday and Today)
7th October – 15th November 2009
Museum für Sächsische Volkskunst,
Jägerhof
Ever since money has existed, there have
always been financial crises. This exhibition
cast light on the current global financial
crisis, its causes and possible consequences.
It covered a broad spectrum
from coin degradation in antiquity, via exchange
and commercial crises in the early
modern period and paper money inflation
since the French Revolution, to the speculation
bubbles and stock market crashes
of the capitalist age. The objects on view
were mainly from the Münzkabinett.
