Description: The fascination of artists for the modern metropolis is alive and present in the art created in Berlin since 1945. On the basis of works on paper, this volume is an invitation to explore the city: Starting with Werner Heldt's urban still lifes, the scars of war and division can be perceived, urban biotopes of the 1970s to 90s on both sides of the Wall traversed, and the inhabitants of the city between the individual, the masses and media images observed. Exhibition: Berlinische Galerie, Berlin, Germany (14.08.2020 - 04.01.2021).
