Vienna, Berlin: Art of Two Urban Centers From Klimt to Grosz 26.10.2013–27.01.2014 A joint presentation of Berlinische Galerie and Österreichische Galerie Belvedere Wien Opening 25.10.2013 at 7 pm For the first time, Berlinische Galerie and Österreichische Galerie Belvedere will present the central works of Viennese and Berlin modernism in a large-scale show, from the Secessions in both cities to expressionism and New Objectivity. By combining masterpieces from both collections with works that until now have not been granted much attention, the show will provide a comprehensive look at the intense exchange that took place between these two major urban centers at the start of the twentieth century. Vienna and Berlin: a strong cultural link bound these two cities beginning in the nineteenth century and lasting for decades. While the exchanges that took place in the realms of literature, theater, and music are well known, the ca. 200 pieces of this exhibition show that a vital dialog also took place between visual artists in the two cities, shaping the course of classical modernism: a dialog that until now has not received much attention. The holdings of these two institutions are well suited to bringing aspects of this link to the public eye. This includes the reception of the Berlin Secession around Max Liebermann in Germany and Gustav Klimt’s Secession in Vienna and the meager reception of the Dadaism in Austria, the influential Berlin stays of numerous Vienna artists after the First World War, and Vienna’s own forms of new objectivity. By combining the works that come from the specific intellectual milieus of these sister cities, the exhibition is intended as a contribution to the study of urban culture. Artists in the exhibition include Hans Baluschek, Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Carry Hauser, Raoul Hausmann, Hannah Höch, Ernst-Ludwig Kirchner, Erika Giovanna Klien, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Broncia Koller-Pinell, Max Liebermann, Jeanne Mammen, Ludwig Meidner, Koloman Moser, Max Oppenheimer, Emil Orlik, Christian Schad, Egon Schiele, and Max Slevogt. The exhibition is made possible with the generous support of Stiftung Deutsche Klassenlotterie Berlin. From the collection: “The Destroyed City Was My Chance” Hilde Weström on Her 100 th Birthday 26.09.2012–25.02.2013 Hilde Weström (born on Oct. 31, 1912), together with Ilse Balg or Vera Meyer- Waldeck, is one of the few female architects who successfully participated in the reconstruction of Berlin after the war. One of the first women accepted into the Bund Deutscher Architekten in 1948, she founded her own firm in 1949. She then participated in numerous competitions together with colleagues such as Wils Ebert, Werner Düttmann, or Paul Baumgarten. Her wide-ranging oeuvre, which she created until her retirement in 1981, shows Weström’s engagement with a present marked by 4 Ernst Ludwig Kirchner: Frauen auf der Straße, 1915, Von der Heydt- Museum Wuppertal, © Dr. Wolfgang & Ingeborg Henze-Ketterer, Wichtrach/Bern Hilde Weström, Planufer Berlin- Kreuzberg 1951/52, © Photography: Friedhelm Hoffmann wWw.BERLINISCHEGALERIE.DE ��
transformation and the foundational principles of new construction. Her untiring commitment to a social, individually adaptable living has made her widely known. In 1957, her designs for model apartments were presented as pioneering at the exhibition „Die Stadt von Morgen”, part of „Internationale Bauaustellung” Berlin. Selected photographs, drawings, and models from the architect’s own papers alongside loans from the Verborgenes Museum and private collections will provide insights into the life and work of this unusual pioneer of architecture. From the Collection: Art in Berlin, 1933-1938 Contribution to the Berlin Thematic Year: “Destroyed Diversity” 30.01.2013–12.08.2013 Since its founding, Berlinische Galerie has considered one of its foremost tasks to collect works of those artists who were persecuted or severely limited in their freedom to work after the Nazis rose to power. On the occasion of the Berlin theme year 2013 “destroyed diversity,” forgotten and discredited artists are the focus of attention, such as Jankel Adler, Lou Albert-Lasard, Gottfried Heinersdorff, Rudolf Jacobi, Peter Lipman-Wulf, Anne Ratkowski, Joachim Ringelnatz, their gallerists and collectors, and the architecture critic Werner Hegemann. They were banned from their professions, driven into exile, or murdered, and their work was forgotten due to Nazi cultural policy. Berlinische Galerie looks back at the broken careers and destroyed livelihoods brought about by Nazi rule. Works by and documents related to these artists will be shown in the context of works from the collection, alongside works by Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Otto Freundlich, Naum Gabo, Raoul Hausmann, Hannah Höch, Jeanne Mammen, Ludwig Meidner, Felix Nussbaum, Erich Salomon, Arthur Segal and Hans Uhlmann, some of the collection’s main works. From the Collection: Visionaries: Paul Scheerbart, Paul Goesch, Friedrich Schröder Sonnenstern 30.05.2013–30.09.2013 This presentation of works from the Grafische Sammlung at Berlinische Galerie will focus on outsiders and visionaries in twentieth century art. They share their very different individual positions: they make no distinction between external perception and subjective introversion. Visionary images rely on what is not empirical or rationally clear. They poach in the nocturnal or dream zones of our understanding and are committed to a different reality that has its starting point in everyday life, but at the same time goes beyond it. The exhibition includes drawings by the pre-Dada writer and inventor Paul Scheerbart (1863–1915) as well as drawings from the 1950s by the Berlin original and fantastic realist Friedrich Schröder-Sonnenstern (1892–1982). A selection of the extensive collection of watercolors by architect Paul Goesch (1885–1940), who became ill in 1921 and produced his art in an asylum, will also be shown. 5 Otto Freundlich, Komposition, 1926, © Photography: Kai-Annett Becker Paul Goesch, Ohne Titel, vor 1921, © Photography: Peter Oszwald wWw.BERLINISCHEGALERIE.DE ��
