Profusely illustrated. *** "Throughout the Cold War, the creation and reception of art in East and West Germany was inseparably linked to divided political realities. Artists in the two Germanys redeployed the traditions of abstraction and realism in new national and international contexts, creating a wide range of powerful artworks that often responded to political events, popular culture, and changes in technology and reproduction." "Art of Two Germanys/Cold War Cultures is the catalogue for a groundbreaking international exhibition that reveals for the first time the contribution of both Germanys to the development of modern and contemporary art. This substantial and profusely illustrated book, with seventeen important essays by major art historians and cultural critics as well as a chronological overview of the history Of East and West Germany, is the first comprehensive look at the scope of postwar German painting, photography, sculpture, video, and performance art. It includes work by more than 120 artists." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Foreword, by Michael Govan; Blurred boundaries: the art of two Germanys between myth and history, by Stephanie Barron; Historicizing postwar German art, by Sabine Eckmann; Nationalizing aesthetics: revivals and rebuttals.

During the 1980s, several major exhibitions offered American audiences their first opportunities to see and learn about art from Germany. Perhaps most important among these was Berlinart: 1961 - 1987 . Organized by the Museum of Modern Art, Berlinart explored how art was shaped within a metropolis that was both a postwar fulcrum in the ideological battle between communism and capitalism, and a city that, despite its physical isolation, remained curiously central to the activities of the interna¬ tional avant-garde. Writing in the introduction for the cat¬ alogue that accompanied Berlinart, organizing curator Kynaston McShine noted that Berlin stands for every place in the modern world, every vulnerable city and town. It is a symbol of freedom and freedom in the arts, and of the possibility of the arts developing in a free way, in spite of a threatening future. Five years later, unprecedented changes in the social and political fabric of Germany have once again pin¬ pointed world attention on the changing face of this city of paradoxes. Just as the physical division of Berlin stood as a challenging symbol of resistance to cultural, social, and political oppression, the sudden dismantling of the Berlin Wall in December 1989, as well as the unification that followed, remains a potent symbol of the ability of people to overcome limitations and constraints. Berlin retains its importance as a herald of the larger concerns that preoc¬ cupy contemporary society. The breach of the Berlin Wall signaled the beginning of a sweeping revision of Europe's social order that is still proceeding. The concept of interface, as a meeting place where di¬ verse ideas can interact and coordinate harmoniously, has replaced the idea of Berlin as an island of opposition, and this notion provides a perfect methaphor for this current survey of art from Berlin, which the Corcoran is proud to present. Interface: Berlin Art in the Nineties presents the work of nine artists as a microcosm for the aesthetic ideas active in Berlin today. These artists demonstrate a diversity of media and content that is intrinsic to a city with a rich cultural history. In their work personal experi¬ ence, mythology, history, and language are mined, dissec¬ ted, and reinvested with new meaning; social commen¬ tary, the role of style in the domain of politics, and ambi¬ tious mythmaking inform their work. Armando, Dieter Ap- pelt, Raffael Rheinsberg and Raimund Kummer were born before the construction of the wall, and their work, which matured in the 1970s and 1980s, reflects the ambiguous.
