Opening Soon: Inventur—Art in Germany, 1943–55

Inventur—Art in Germany, 1943–55
Please join us as we celebrate the opening of our newest special exhibition, Inventur—Art in Germany, 1943–55. Renowned German artist Konrad Klapheck, whose work is featured in the exhibition, will lecture on “War and Peace in German Art after World War II,” followed by a reception and open galleries.
The first exhibition of its kind, Inventur examines the highly charged artistic landscape in Germany from the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s. The exhibition focuses on modern art created at a time when Germans were forced to acknowledge and reckon with the atrocities of World War II and the Holocaust, the country’s defeat and occupation by the Allies, and the ideological ramifications of the fledgling Cold War.

Thursday, February 8, 2018

Open galleries: 5–9pm
Lecture: 6pm

#Inventur

Klapheck will discuss his practice as it relates to the historical, political, and artistic context of the immediate postwar period. Following his lecture, Klapheck will be joined in conversation by exhibition curator Lynette Roth, the Daimler Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum and head of the Division of Modern and Contemporary Art.
Free admission, but tickets are required. Tickets will be distributed on the Lower Level beginning at 5pm. One ticket per person. Seating will begin at 5:30pm. Once capacity is reached, additional seating in nearby Deknatel Hall will be available for viewing the lecture via simulcast. The lecture will also be livestreamed on the museums’ YouTube channel.
Complimentary parking available in the Broadway Garage, 7 Felton Street, Cambridge.

Support for this project was provided by the German Friends of the Busch-Reisinger Museum (Verein der Freunde des Busch-Reisinger Museums) and by endowed funds, including the Daimler Curatorship of the Busch-Reisinger Museum Fund, the M. Victor Leventritt Fund, and the Richard L. Menschel Endowment Fund. In addition, modern and contemporary art programs at the Harvard Art Museums are made possible in part by generous support from the Emily Rauh Pulitzer and Joseph Pulitzer, Jr., Fund for Modern and Contemporary Art.
