About
With _Ruin and Rush_, the Neue Nationalgalerie highlights selected works from its Classical Modern collection that explore Berlin in the 1910s and 1920s. These decades – shaped by the First World War and the Weimar Republic – were marked by constant tension between extremes: excess and poverty, emancipation and extremism, all coexisting in a rapidly growing, cosmopolitan city. Featuring around 35 works in a variety of artistic styles, the exhibition brings to life the contradictions of Berlin’s past.
