Dresden as a Hub. Local Art Scene and and Global Modernity For centuries, Dresden has been a city where different cultures overlap and where products from other cultures were collected and incorporated into the courtly and bourgeois cultures. However, there also existed, and exists, a refusal to relate the local art and culture to global phenomena. In this, the historical perspective assumed by the history of art is capable of playing a special role. To what extent are artistic traditions tied to places and impregnated with regional or national connotations? What factors constitute the centers and peripheries of the avant-garde? What significance do topographical and spatial aspects, questions concerning human migration, objects and techniques have for the contemporary art practice? The contributions to this volume examine different examples of exchange relationships and interactions in the fields of art production, art distribution, and art reception in the 20th century, critically questioning the topos of an only locally effective art.

Das Buch widmet sich der Sammlungsgeschichte der Galerie Neue Meister zur Zeit der Sowjetischen Besatzungszone und der DDR. Der Bestand des Museums umfasst Gemälde von der Romantik bis zur Gegenwart, darunter allein über 600 Werke, die zwischen 1945 bis 1990 entstanden sind. Erstmals wird exemplarisch für ein ostdeutsches Museum rekonstruiert, auf welchen Wegen damals Gemälde in eine öffentliche Sammlung gelangten. Die Autoren legen dar, nach welchen Gesichtspunkten die Galeriedirektoren den Bestand erweiterten, welchen Handlungsspielraum sie dabei hatten und wie die Einflussnahme durch kulturpolitische Institutionen wie zum Beispiel dem Kulturfonds der DDR zu bewerten ist. Eine ausführliche, reich bebilderte Chronologie dokumentiert die Erwerbungen zwischen 1948 bis zum Ende der DDR.

Born and educated in Germany, Walter Gropius (1883-1969) belongs to the select group of architects that massively influenced the international development of modern architecture. As the founding director of the Bauhaus, Gropius made inestimable contributions to his field, to the point that knowing his work is crucial to understanding Modernism. His early buildings, such Fagus Boot-Last Factory and the Bauhaus Building in Dessau, with their use of glass and industrial features, are still indispensable points of reference. After his emigration to the United States, he influenced the education of architects there and became, along with Mies van der Rohe, a leading proponent of the International Style.
