Interesting Forthcoming Art Exhibition in Hamburg

Posted by (Washington DC) on

I know late October to late March isn't exactly a peak period for tourist visits to Hamburg, but this exhibition planned for the Bucerius Kunst Forum sounds intriguing. It runs from September 11, 2026 to March 29, 2027. The title is "Jewish Collectors". Here's the description from the museum's website (https://www.buceriuskunstforum.de/besuch):

"The exhibition reconstructs 15 important art collections of German Jewish citizens before 1945, presenting around 100 works of Impressionism, Expressionism and New Objectivity by artists from Cézanne to Kirchner. The show pays tribute to and commemorates the decisive role of important Jewish collectors.

"On Saturday, 31.10.2026 and Tuesday, 23.03.2027, admission to the exhibition is free."

The ticket price currently displayed on the website is 9 euros.

Unfortunately, the timing doesn't work for me.

" Unfortunately, the timing doesn't work for me." - Nor I ! But this does look good . I'm particularly interested in The Neue Sachlikeit component having been able to see two other major collections of that work . One of them goes back twenty years at The Met , here in New York https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2006/glitter-and-doom Out of print , there are used copies of the catalog on Amazon , but one of the DC museums may have a copy . The other , more recently , on several visits to Dresden , is The Albertinum ( not to be confused with the Albertina , in Vienna ) also has a spectacular collection of Neue Sachlikeit art including , Grosz , Dix , Beckmann . and and if I remember correctly ,Christian Schad https://albertinum.skd.museum/en/exhibitions/permanent-exhibition/
