Fri, 31 October: City & Country – Curator’s tour

Fri, 14 November: Biographies of the works – provenance research at the Bröhan Museum

Provenance research serves to address injustices committed under National Socialism, with the aim of returning stolen cultural property. The works in the collection are examined to determine their history of origin (provenance). If the examination reveals a context of injustice, including during the GDR regime, the object in the collection is returned to its descendants. During the tour, the complex and exciting research on some of the works will be explained using examples and questions will be answered.

Fri, 12 December: Scandals of the Berlin Secession

The opposition modernist movement in the capital was founded as a secession. The Berlin Secession had a different artistic vision than the official art world in the German Empire – and did not shy away from cultural and political criticism. Crises, scandals and myths took on a momentum of their own with astonishing long-term effects. On this evening, we take a look behind the scenes of these debates.

Fri, 9 January: The Berlin Secession and its enemies

No modernist movement is without reactionary headwinds: the Berlin Secession found itself confronted with chauvinistic slogans and anti-Semitic agitation due to its transnational stance. But despite conservative opposition and nationalist agitation, it organised highly acclaimed international exhibitions, championed young, socially critical art and promoted free artistic thinking. With its cosmopolitan attitude, it contradicted the idea of German nationalism. Some aspects that inevitably recall current political controversies will be highlighted in the tour.
