The Art of Society

1900–1945: The Nationalgalerie
Collection
22.08.2021 to 02.07.2023
Neue Nationalgalerie

After six years of closure for renovations, the Neue

Nationalgalerie will once again present major works of
Classical Modernism from the Nationalgalerie collection.
The Art of Society shows some 250 paintings and
sculptures created between 1900 and 1945 by artists
including Otto Dix, Hannah Höch, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner,
Lotte Laserstein and Renée Sintenis.

The works of art assembled in the exhibition reflect the

social processes of a turbulent time, among them the
German Empire’s reform movements, the First World War,
the Weimar Republic’s Golden Twenties, National
Socialism’s ostracism of the avant-garde, the Second
World War, and the Holocaust. Extending beyond a pure
history of aesthetics, the collection impressively
demonstrates the connection between art and social
history. In the process the open floor plan of Mies van de
Rohe’s iconic architecture affords different perspectives
on the various currents of the avantgarde.

Exhibition Catalogue
The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication
edited by Joachim Jäger, Dieter Scholz and Irina Hiebert
Grun: The Art of Society, 1900 – 1945, an exhibition
catalogue of the Neue Nationalgalerie, DCV Verlag, Berlin,
