The exhibition is dedicated to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s works of the so-called “New Style” – a creative phase that the artist developed from the mid-1920s and continued into the mid-1930s. A concise exhibition unfolds over two floors, using selected paintings on the first floor and works on paper in the basement to illustrate the characteristic features, developments and peculiarities of this “New Style”. The aim is to give this phase within Kirchner’s oeuvre the status it deserves.

With this exhibition, our gallery is also making a contribution to the current intensive debate on Kirchner’s work and the New Style – as is prominently reflected in the current presentations at the Kunst Museum Bern (Kirchner x Kirchner), the LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur in Münster (Kirchner and Picasso), the Kunsthalle Mannheim (Kirchner, Lehmbruck, Nolde) and the Kirchner Museum Davos.
