A look at the Berlinische Galerie, both in front of and behind the scenes
The Berlinische Galerie is offering a new format that focuses on its extensive Graphic Collection: artworks, especially graphic works, literally shape their "cityscape" across different eras. Artists are also witnesses to their time when they capture social changes with pen or etching needle.

The event with art historian Britta Bode combines three elements: It offers a glimpse into the richly detailed pencil drawings of multimedia artist Marc Brandenburg (born 1965).
Afterward, a tour of the newly installed permanent exhibition "Art in Berlin 1880–1980" explores the evolving depictions of the city in painting and photography. An exclusive visit to the Graphic Collection rounds off the afternoon: original works from storage will be presented.
This is a rare opportunity to view drawings, watercolors, lithographs, and etchings—from artists such as Max Beckmann and Werner Heldt to Monika Meiser and Rainer Fetting—up close and discuss them together: Berlin in pictures—the city as it is drawn.
