Gallery Talk

Painting and Sculpture in Postwar Germany

Arthur M. Sackler Museum @ 485 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138

Joanna Wendel, curatorial assistant, Harvard Art Museums/Busch-Reisinger Museum

This talk will address four works that engage provocatively with the traditions of painting and sculpture and are shaped by issues in postwar German society: Gerhard Richter’s Table (1962), Georg Baselitz’s Curly Head (1967), Joseph Beuy’s Back Support for a Fine-Limbed Person (Hare-Type) of the 20th Century A.D. (1972), and Rosemarie Trockel’s Shutter (c) (2006).

Free with the price of admission. Open to the public.

Gallery talks are informal and include discussion.

Limited to 25 participants; please arrive early.
