SIBYLLE BERGEMANN

Sibylle Bergemann's photos tell of the beautiful and the serious, of the bizarre, the distinctive and the obstinate. Casual-looking composition and a reportage-like, almost cinematic character characterise her views of East Berlin.  After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Bergemann entered a new phase. Black and white now gave way to colour.

ANSELM KIEFER

Born at the end of the war, Anselm Kiefer has been pursuing the goal of raising awareness since the 1970s, in an intensive examination of German history and an ambiguous treatment of taboo content.

TIM BURTON

He is considered the "master of the fantastic scary trip, the surreal screen spectacle". The films of the American director Tim Burton have cult status, but his visual work is still largely to be discovered.

AUGUST MACKE UND FRANZ MARC

August Macke and Franz Marc were connected by a close friendship, which is one of the special events of the art of the 20th century, not only in human, but also in artistic terms.

GUSTAVE COURBET

No other artist, especially in the prudish 19th century, dared such drastic realism and the associated breaking of taboos as Gustave Coubert. His most famous painting, L'Origine du monde, was for a long time the epitome of an art scandal.
