German Art
The Presence of Art in Germany
Art is everywhere in Germany: the Staedel
Art Institute in Frankfurt, the Hamburg
Picture Gallery, the old picture gallery in Munich,
the Berlin Art Gallery, the Ludwig Museum in Köln .
Here the Old Masters
come face to face with the representatives of newer tendencies.
But there is also an "alternative art" scene; by simply walking
the streets you'll run into sculptures in train stations and
squares, exhibitions in banks and other facilities, graffiti.
Art has taken over
public places in Germany a long time ago. A great example
of this would be when wrap artists Jeanne Claude and Christo,
completely wrapped Germany's "most public" building, the Parliament
or Reichstag up in fabric in the summer of 1995.
Over five million people came from all over the world to see
this work of art.
