**Overview:** 141 paintings, drawings, watercolors, prints, and sculptures by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner were on display in this first major exhibition of Kirchner's work in the United States in more than 30 years. Photographs made from Kirchner's original glass-plate negatives also were included. The works represented the entire span of the artist's career with a focus on art he created from 1908 to 1920 in Dresden and Berlin, Germany, and in Davos, Switzerland. A different version of the exhibition was shown in London.

**Organization:** The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the Royal Academy of Arts, London. Andrew Robison, Mellon Senior Curator at the National Gallery of Art, was curator of the Washington installation. For the London installation the curators were Jill Lloyd, independent curator; Magdalena Moeller, director of the Brücke-Museum, Berlin; and Norman Rosenthal, exhibition secretary of the Royal Academy.

**Sponsor:** The exhibition was made possible by the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation. Additional support was provided by Porsche Cars North America.
