Art in Berlin 1880 – 1980 Press Release Berlin, 14.10.20 Berlin is always changing. The city’s art scene con- stantly reinvents itself, too. Narrating this eventful his- tory from the dawn of Modernism around 1900 into the 1980s is the theme of our permanent exhibition “Art in Berlin 1880–1980”. With fresh vigour and diversity since the revamp in October 2020, the collection at the Berlinische Galerie occupies more than 1000 square metres. Waiting to be discovered among the roughly 250 works on show are paintings, prints, photographs, architecture and archive materials rarely or never displayed before. 2020 Walking around this exhibition is like time travel through Berlin: the Kaiser’s era, the Weimar Republic, the Nazi dictatorship, the new beginnings after 1945, Bild-Kunst, Bonn Bonn Bild-Kunst, VG Cold War in the divided city, and the counter-cultures , © and unconventional lifestyles that evolved in East and 1926 West under the shadow of the Wall. In East Berlin, an alternative art community developed from the late 1970s. In West Berlin from the late 1970s, aggressive art by the “Neue Wilden” placed the divided city back in the international limelight.

From 1900 he cham- pioned the cause of the Berlin Secession, where he regularly exhibited. By inviting international artists to their shows, the Secessionists also publicised the full spectrum of Modernist styles: Naturalism, Symbol- ism, Art Nouveau, Impressionism and Pointillism, all of which are represented in the permanent exhibition. Der Sturm – a stage for the avant-garde In March 1912 Herwarth Walden (1878–1941) opened his gallery “Der Sturm” in Berlin. For a decade and a half it was to be a leading forum for modern art.

The Swiss artist (1853–1918), an influential force in symbolism, drew great international acclaim even in his own lifetime. Contemporaries valued Hodler above all as a master of human characterisation: as the artist Paul Klee noted in 1911, he could “create the soul by painting the body”. Few people realise today that Hodler’s path to fame lay through Berlin.

From 1898 until the outbreak of the First World War, the artist exhibited here almost annually: first at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition, then at the Berlin Secession and in a number of galleries. The presentation at the Berlinische Galerie will bring together about 50 paintings by Hodler from German and Swiss collections, including 30 from the Kunst- museum Bern, our partner in this collaboration. It will also feature works by artists who exhibited with Hodler in Berlin, including Lovis Corinth, Walter Leistikow, Hans Thoma and Julie Wolfthorn. The exhibition is a cooperation between the Berlinische Galerie and the Kunstmuseum Bern.

As contemporary witnesses, artists documented and commented on the political struggles and social changes of those years with a sharp eye and a deft pen; it was a time when Berlin was developing into a scintillating big city of entertainment after the world war and revolution. Not without sympathy, artists traced the deep lines that a struggle to survive had etched into the faces of people chasing after happiness on the city's boulevards, at its bars, or in the gloomy dance halls of the working men's pubs. This exhibition with circa 60 works from our own collections, supplemented by some loans, will show works on paper by artists including Max Beckmann, Chas-Laborde, Otto Dix, Dolbin, Heinrich Ehmsen, Lilo Friedlaender, Rudolf Großmann, George Grosz, Karl Holtz, Karl Hubbuch, Jeanne Mammen, Gertrude Sandmann, Rudolf Schlichter, Gerd Wollheim and Richard Ziegler.

  • Hannah Höch’S Radical Imagination: a Study on the Transformation of Reality Through Space, Language and a Politicised Psychoanalysis
    Hannah Höch’s radical imagination: a study on the transformation of reality through space, language and a politicised psychoanalysis. Volume 1 of 2: Written thesis Andrea Kay Tabernacle UCL PhD Thesis September, 2017 1 Declaration I, Andrea Kay Tabernacle confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis presents an analysis of Höch’s work in relation to the idea of radical imagination. It proposes that Höch activated radical imagination in her work, aiming to transform perceptions of reality, in order to create social change. In pursuit of such change, Höch was influenced both by psychoanalysis and philosophy, in particular, by Salomo Friedländer’s concept of creative indifference. The target for radical imagination is the dismantlement and reconstruction of the prevailing moral, social and aesthetic order, from its root. This study argues that its effect derives from its rootedness in the perception of subjective realities. Beginning in the unconscious processes of looking and the construction of concepts of self and other, it is radical in means as well as in intention towards fundamental changes in values. While not directed at specific political aims, it is argued here that there is, nonetheless, an ethical and political imperative. The research has been carried out through an examination of Höch’s work in context, including by reference to Walter Benjamin and Sigmund Freud. Her work is also considered in relation to other Dada artists and the writer, Til Brugman.

  • Introduction to the First International Dada Fair*
    Introduction to the First International Dada Fair* WIELAND HERZFELDE Translated and introduced by Brigid Doherty Printed in red-and-black typography over a photolithographic reproduction of John Heartfield’s montage Life and Activity in Universal City at 12:05 in the Afternoon, the newspaper-sized cover page of the catalog to the First International Dada Fair—an “exhibition and sale” of roughly two hundred “Dadaist products” that was held from June 30 to August 25, 1920, in a Berlin art gallery owned by Dr. Otto Burchard, an expert in Song period Chinese ceramics who underwrote the show with an investment of one thousand marks and thereby earned the title “Financedada”—asserts that “the Dada movement leads to the sublation of the art trade.”1 Aufhebung is the Dadaists’ word for what their movement does to the traffic in art, and the cover page evokes the trebled meaning that can be attached to that term: the Dada Fair “maintained” the art trade to the extent that it put Dadaist products on the market; at the same time, and indeed thereby, the exhibition aimed to generate within the walls of a well-situated Berlin art gallery an affront to public taste that would “eradicate” the market into which its products were launched, as if, again thereby, to “elevate” the enterprise of dealing in works of art in the first place. Organized by George Grosz, who is given the military rank “Marshall” on the cover page, Raoul Hausmann, “Dadasopher,” and Heartfield, “Monteurdada,” the Dada Fair failed as a commercial venture. Despite charging a considerable admission fee of three marks thirty (a sum even higher than the cat- alog announces), while asking an additional one mark seventy for the catalog, which was published three weeks into the run of the show, the Dadaists could not bring in enough from sales to turn a profit.

Berlin Architecture will be open again in the 1980s (until 16.8.) Berlin boasts a unique concentration of notewor- thy buildings from the 1980s, and more than 30 years later they deserve a review. The diversity of this archi- tectural vocabulary challenged previous ideas of living in the modern world. Widely labelled “post- modern”, it drew on structural typologies and stylis- tic devices from the past and tested alternative urban lifestyles. In the run-up to the celebrations marking 750 years since the original town charter, the entries submitted to the “Internationale Bauausstellung” in West Berlin in 1984/87 and the “Bauausstellung” of 1987 in East Berlin turned the city into a kind of archi- tectural laboratory observed from well beyond its boundaries.
