Berlin - Moscow | Moscow - Berlin 1950 - 2000
Five decades of Art

Eight years after the major exhibition "Berlin - Moscow | Moscow - Berlin 1900 - 1950" which delighted hundreds of thousands of visitors comes the sequel. On this occasion this first comprehensive volume on the theme will be published: an informed, fascinating review with numerous pictures on half a century of art in two German states, in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. Berlin and Moscow stand pars pro toto for Germany and Russia; the exhibition has been conceived from today`s perspective. At the centre of this exciting and tense confrontation are the Fine Arts, including photography, film and video. Around 200 artists are represented; significant artistic positions of the last fifty years of German-Russian art history are reviewed. The volume is entirely in colour and printed in the highest quality. It contains, in addition to the main part, which is structured according to themes with numerous illustrations as well as texts by Russian and German authors, an encyclopaedia which documents the work of the artists participating in the exhibition. This is a major work presenting many masterpieces of international renown and yet more remaining to be discovered.
