Through September 27, 1998
At The Busch-Reisinger Museum (More about the Busch-Reisinger Museum)

The exhibition celebrates the Harvard University Art Museums' publication of a new catalogue by the same name. The catalogue was prompted by a gift to the Busch-Reisinger of over 200 drawings and prints by East and West German artists, some completed as recently as 1993.

Arranged through the German Art Dealers Association, the donation of drawings and prints came not only from the dealers but from artists, artists' estates and private collectors. The gift greatly enhanced the Busch-Reisinger's collection of German postwar drawings and prints by artists born before 1945. The exhibition provides a historical overview of the period and focus on the international emergence of contemporary German art in the 1960s. Approximately forty drawings and prints are on display including works by Horst Janssen, Richard Oelze, Willi Baumeister, Karl Otto Goetz, Gotthard Graubner, Otto Piene, Werner Tubke and Gerhard Marcks. The prints range from small, delicate etchings to a very large 39-color silkscreen; the drawings range from tiny silverpoints to large gouaches.
