| Requires cookie* | | | Title: | DDR collections, | | | | Dates: | 1928-1993, (bulk 1950-1993) | | | | Abstract: | The DDR collections, assembled from individual artists' and
scholars' papers, chronicle the evolution of a national cultural policy in East
German visual arts, art history, and architecture, through forty years of German
Socialism. Well represented are the activities of the Union of Visual Artists
(Verband Bildender Künstler, or VBK), the organization of its congresses and art
exhibitions, and the editorial agendas of its journal Bildende Kunst. Also
represented is the creation of a socialist history of German art, with a
corresponding curriculum. Lastly, the collection documents activities of the Central
Working Group for Architecture and Visual Arts (ZAG/AbK), whose responsibilities
included architectural and urban policy. The DDR collections contain scant testimony
of East Germany's alternative culture, prominent in the 1989 uprising. Rather the
documents reflect official culture and the use of art as a medium for domestic
propaganda. | | | | Number: | 940002 | |
