Ludwig in Leipzig VI:
GDR ART FROM THE EIGHTIES
9 February - 2 September, 2012

During the 1980s, art in the GDR achieved a previously unseen pluralism, characterised not only by attitudes that complemented the prevailing political system, but also by cosmopolitan and critical viewpoints. The exhibition featuring works from the collection owned by the Peter and Irene Ludwig Foundation provides broad insight into this eventful epoch.
