Berlin on Paper

The Berlinische Galerie is offering a new exhibition format that focuses on its extensive collection of prints: Works of art—especially prints—literally shape the “image of the city” across different eras.

Artists are also witnesses to their times when they capture social changes with a pencil or etching needle.

The event with art historian Britta Bode combines three elements: It offers a glimpse at the detailed pencil drawings by multimedia artist Marc Brandenburg (*1965).

This is followed by a guided tour of the newly curated permanent exhibition “Art in Berlin 1880–1980,” exploring the evolving depictions of the city in painting and photography.

An exclusive visit to the Print Collection rounds out the afternoon:

original works from the storage collection will be on display. This offers a rare opportunity to view drawings, watercolors, lithographs, and etchings—ranging from artists such as Max Beckmann and Werner Heldt to Monika Meiser and Rainer Fetting—up close and discuss them together:
