On display are about 120 works by more than 80 artists, with loans from almost 50 sources. State art policy expected artists to express the socialist manifesto in pictures. But artists had their own ideas and their own understanding of art, and their output extended well beyond these bounds. From 1949 till 1990, throughout the entire period of the GDR, painters, sculptors and photographers created many independent works exploring how they saw their own role. This artists’ art is the theme of the show. Aritists were caught up in the tensions between providing a social role model and withdrawing into a private world, between prescribed collectivism and creative individuality. The exhibition explores self-styling by artists as individual personalities – in self- and group portaits, in role projections and in studio paintings, in abstract formal experiments and in references to art history. Over four generations, artistic self-affirmation and a critical take on the life of the artist were major themes. Artists depict how they see themselves in self- and group portraits and in projections of role models. These genres have been handed down through Western art since the Renaissance, and East German artists likewise picked up on this tradition, as well as on the genre of studio painting. Alongside these time-honored motifs and themes, the exhibition traces an interest in the abstract as an artistic rebuttal of social relevance, and in the use of the artist’s own body in performative works during the late 1980s. There have been many exhibitions about GDR art since 1989. Most have shone the limelight on political aspects – from the thorny issue of state-commissioned art (Berlin, 1995) via a comparison of dictatorships (Weimar, 1999) to the potential for dissent (Berlin, 2016). After these political and sociological perspectives, Behind the Mask: Artists in the GDR asks how artists turned their critical gaze upon themselves, reflecting on their own way of seeing things and on their response to the tasks required of them, and identifying space for artistic creativity despite the official mission. This thematic approach shifts the focus away from sociological and ideological aspects toward the works themselves. Through this exhibition, the Museum Barberini has begun to investigate its collection of East German art, which still plays a marginal role in German art history. Building on in-house holdings, from which ten exhibits have been selected, the show brings together more than 100 works by about 80 artists, including paintings, photographs, prints, drawings, collage and sculpture. The loans have been provided by a number of museums, galleries and private collections, among them the Nationalgalerie in Berlin; Brandenburg’s Landesmuseum für moderne 2 Kunst in Cottbus & Frankfurt (Oder); the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Dresden; the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg in Halle; the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig; the Tübke Foundation in Leipzig, and Galerie Eigen + Art Leipzig/Berlin. The selection includes works by Karl-Heinz Adler (*1927), Gerhard Altenbourg (1926–1989), Strawalde (Jürgen Böttcher) (*1931), Hartwig Ebersbach (*1940), Hermann Glöckner (1889– 1987), Hans-Hendrik Grimmling (*1947), Ulrich Hachulla (*1943), Bernhard Heisig (1925– 2011), Wolfgang Mattheuer (1927–2004), Harald Metzkes (*1929), Michael Morgner (*1942), A. R. Penck (1939–2017), Stefan Plenkers (*1945), Evelyn Richter (*1930), Arno Rink (*1940), Theodor Rosenhauer (1901–1996), Willi Sitte (1921–2013), Werner Tübke (1929– 2004), Elisabeth Voigt (1893–1977), Dieter Weidenbach (*1945), Trak Wendisch (*1958) and the group Clara Mosch. The curators are Valerie Hortolani and Michael Philipp. The exhibition is accompanied by a 280-page catalog with approx. 180 illustrations, published by Prestel Verlag. The catalog can be purchased for € 29.95 in the museum shop and for € 39.95 from the book trade. It contains contribuions from, among others, Valerie Hortolani, Petra Lange-Berndt, Michael Philipp, Carolin Quermann, Martin Schieder. Parallel to the exhibition Behind the Mask: Artists in the GDR, the Museum Barberini is showing a documentation of the “Gallery in the Palace of the Republic” until May 21, 2018. The 16 large-format paintings testify to state attempts at grandstanding by means of art. Against this backdrop, it is all the easier to appreciate the rich landscape of East German art that unfolded beyond this domain, and which can be viewed at the show Behind the Mask. Marking the Palace Gallery presentation, the first issue of the Barberini Studies will be brought out with texts by Michael Philipp. It has 112 pages. The soft-cover version will be on sale at the museum shop for € 14.95, and the hard-cover edition can be purchased from the book trade for €24.95.

  • Trauma and Memory: an Artist in Turmoil
    TRAUMA AND MEMORY: AN ARTIST IN TURMOIL By Angelos Koutsourakis Konrad Wolf’s Artist Films Der nackte Mann auf dem Sportplatz (The Naked Man on the Sports Field, 1973) is one of Konrad Wolf’s four artist films. Like Goya (1971), Solo Sunny (1978), and Busch singt (Busch Sings, 1982)—his six-part documentary about the German singer and actor Ernst Busch, The Naked Man on the Sports Field focuses on the relationship between art and power. In Goya, Wolf looks at the life of the renowned Spanish painter—who initially benefited from the protection of the Spanish king and the Catholic church—in order to explore the role of the artist in society, as well as issues of artistic independence from political powers. In Solo Sunny, he describes a woman’s struggle for artistic expression and self-realization in a stultifying world that is tainted by patriarchal values; Sunny’s search is simultaneously a search for independence and a more fulfilling social role. Both films can Film Library • A 2017 DVD Release by the DEFA be understood as a camouflaged critique of the official and social pressures faced by East German artists. The Naked Man on the Sports Field can be seen this way as well, and simultaneously explores questions of trauma and memory. The film tells the story of Herbert Kemmel (played by Kurt Böwe), an artist uncomfortable with the dominant understanding of art in his country. Kemmel is a sculptor in turmoil, insofar as he seems to feel alienated from his social environment, in which people do not understand his artistic works.

Diese Werkschau ist eine der umfangreichsten Retrospektiven, die dem Künstler jemals an einem deutschen Museum gewidmet wurde. Sie entstand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Denver Art Museum. Anhand von über 100 Gemälden spürt sie den Orten nach, aus denen Monet Inspiration bezog – von Paris und den Seine-Dörfern bis zu Reisezielen wie London oder Venedig. Die Schau versammelt zahlreiche Schlüsselwerke aus sämtlichen Schaffensphasen. Sie ist die erste Ausstellung, die Monets künstlerischen Werdegang im Hinblick auf seine Ortswahl und sein Ortsbewusstsein in den Blick nimmt. Der Ort war für Claude Monet (1840–1926) von entscheidender Bedeutung. Hier traf das von Wetter, Jahres- und Tageszeiten abhängige Licht auf die Landschaft. Hier ging er dem flüchtigen Spiel atmosphärischer Phänomene nach – dem, was zwischen ihm und dem Motiv lag.

    G B M Nr. 45 Schriftenreihe zur Kultur Zeitzeichen Ausstellung der GBM in der Ladengalerie der »jungen Welt« vom 18. Juni bis 31. August 2019 Inhaltsverzeichnis Einführung S. 2 Rede zur Eröffnung der Ausstellung Martina Dost S. 4 Kein häßlicher Regentropfen der Geschichte Dr. Peter Michel S. 17 1 Blick in die Ladengalerie während der Eröffnungsrede Rede zur Eröffnung der Ausstellung Martina Dost Am 31. August 2019 schließt die vermutlich letzte Ausstellung der GBM. Da wir seit der Aufgabe unserer Geschäftsräume keine originalen Kunstwerke mehr zeigen konnten, bot es sich an, in der Ladengalerie der Tageszeitung »junge Welt« noch einmal über 30 Werke »unserer« bildenden Künstler der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren. Die »junge Welt« zieht am gleichen Strang und zeigt ebenfalls regelmäßig fortschrittliche Kunst. Es war eine erfreuliche Zusammenarbeit, die durch großes Besucherinteresse belohnt wurde. Erfahrener Kurator war Peter Michel, der mit seiner Frau Maria die Fäden der Organisation in der Hand hielt. Aber ohne die körperliche Arbeit des Aufhängens, die von den Profis der Zeitung erledigt wurde, ohne die Einladungen und umfangreiche Kleinarbeit, die viele Helfer der GBM und der »jungen Welt« im Hintergrund leisteten, hätten wir nicht solchen Erfolg verzeichnen können. 2 Galeriegespräch: Andreas Wessel, Peter Michel, Arnold Schölzel, Martina Dost, von links Am 18. Juni eröffneten wir die Ausstellung im vollbesetzten Raum mit einer Begrüßung von Helga Hörnig, der Vorsitzenden der GBM, mit einer Rede von Stefan Huth, dem Chefredakteur der »jungen Welt« und einer Eröffnungsrede von mir, Martina Dost. Stefan Huth erinnerte an die unermüdliche Arbeit der GBM, der Abwertung und dem angestrebten »Vergessen« der DDR-Künste ein Podium entgegenzusetzen.

  • P Re Sse Rele a Se
    Presse release Presse Potsdam, June 12, 2019 Van Gogh: Still Lifes October 26, to February 2, 2020 Van Gogh: Still Lifes is the first systematic exploration of this important theme in the artist’s work in an exhibition. Of the roughly 800 paintings that Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) created during his ten-year career as an artist, some 170––about a fifth––are still lifes. It is therefore all the more remarkable that there has never been a monographic exhibition dedicated to the genre of the still life in Van Gogh’s work. With exhibitions showcasing Henri-Edmond Cross and Pablo Picasso, the Museum Barberini launched a series dedicated to French modernist artists. Aspects of their work that have been neglected until now have been approached from new angles in international symposia held by the museum. In the autumn of 2019, the Museum Barberini will continue this series with the first exhibition of Vincent van Gogh’s still lifes. The carefully chosen selection of 27 paintings traces the development of the artist’s work from the earthy tones and simple everyday objects of the early paintings and the floral still lifes of his time in Paris to his radiant, exuberant southern motifs. From his very first painting, Still Life with Cabbage and Clogs (Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam)––created at the end of 1881 in The Hague––to the vibrant floral works painted in Auvers-sur-Oise in 1890, during the last months of the artist’s life, for example Blossoming Chestnut Branches (Foundation E. H. Bührle, Zürich), Van Gogh returned to still lifes time and again.
