Fireworks over Alexanderplatz German painting since 1968 from the Berg collection

120 selected works from the Berg Collection, by German artists from 1968 until the present day, will be in the Museum of Art Lucerne under the title ‘Fireworks over Alexanderplatz’, taken from a painting by Hödicke. The exhibition will include chiefly paintings, but also some works on paper and a small number of sculptures.
The exhibition is curated by Dr Hans Günter Golinski, Director of the Bochum Museum, and Peter Fischer, Director of the Museum of Art Lucerne, and there will be an accompanying catalogue. It will first be shown (17.11.2007-2.1.2008) in the Bochum Museum.
While some of the collection’s paintings, such as those by Graubner, Hödicke, Koberling, Lüpertz or Middendorf have by now become prominent key works in new German painting, and have become part of the general visual memory, in the work of artists such as Chevalier, Finkeldei, Wendisch and others visitors will be able to discover a further development of figurative painting in Germany which has hitherto been received in Switzerland either inadequately or not at all.
